Poor spy, did they really tell you why?

Why you always have to lie

and the rest don't even try!

Poor spy, you who always have to flee;

Do you have security

or your parents, guarantee?

Poor spy, you who crave a normal life

with a husband or a wife

will you find it without strife?

Poor spy, at the mercy of the War

and the worst of all by far

are the things you cannot buy...
