Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man Lyrics






There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Oh, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

Swinging on the Riviera one day
And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
Oh, don't you let the wrong words slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

    Secret Agent Man is a fabulous song born in the era of SURF music (decade of the '60s) which was dominated by electric guitar, as well as by solo singing. Congratulations and many greetings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEtnPbwcHCk *SECRET AGENT MAN* in the style of *The Ventures*

    The song 'A Man Can Cry' on the flip side of the 45 hit 'Baby I Need Your Lovin' is very good too. Another JR song that many people
    may not have heard of is 'China'. I remember Johnny performing this song on The Midnight Special starring Wolfman Jack. Also,
    check out the song 'All Along The Watchtower 2011 LIVE @Gilford' performed by Dave Mason (posted by: saskatchawan). Dave
    also performed this song on The Midnight Special back in the early 80's. Dave's first hit was a good song 'We Just Disagree'
    (posted by: Dave MasonVEVO) if you're interested.

    This song was written by Steve Barri and Phil Sloan at the request of Screen Gems Producer Lou Adler. When Johnny Rivers was signed to perform the title song to a British TV show called "Danger Man" that was being brought to America as a summer replacement, the James Bond craze had just started -- so the name was changed to "Secret Agent Man." For the TV show, they wrote just one verse and the chorus. But after the show became a hit, Rivers started getting requests to perform it during his live shows, but couldn't because the song was incomplete. So Adler turned to Barry and Sloan and asked them to write a full song, which they did. When they went into the studio to record, Hal Blaine came up with all those thundering tom tom fills and cymbal crashes. As an afterthought, Adler asked everyone in the building to come into the studio to clap and yell to simulate a live recording at the Whiskey a Go Go.

  65. J.... S....

    Ah the memories this brings back!!

  66. l.... ....

    did anyone catch the person saying ''batman johnny,do batman!!!!''

  67. S.... ....

    Does anyone know if a studio (not live) version exists that doesn't have the voices in the background? Just curious.

  68. R.... N....

    Sounds like he sings "Secret Asian Man" sometimes

  69. G.... F....

  86. F.... a....

    There's a man who leads a life of danger
    To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
    With every move he makes another chance he takes
    Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number and taken away your name

    Beware of pretty faces that you find
    A pretty face can hide an evil mind
    Ah, be careful what you say
    Or you'll give yourself away
    Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number and taken away your name

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number and taken away your name

    Swingin' on the Riviera one day
    And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
    Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
    While kissing persuasive lips
    The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

    Secret agent man, secret agent man
    They've given you a number and taken away your name

    Secret agent man

  87. A.... T....

    Where's the Aston Martin?

  88. l.... ....

    if anyone interested you can find most of the TV series on You Tube - just search the term "Danger Man" for the Brit version - not sure the US version is there as haven't checked for it - used to watch it during it's original run in the 60's while working at the US Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand

  89. A.... L....

    and if secret agent man is really dead by now, has his hidden dead body been found by now?

  90. R.... B....

    Wal-Mart commercial roll back man

  91. D.... E....

    pretty face a evil mind

  92. P.... A....

    Muito Bom Show

  93. W.... P....

    This song was actually based not on OO7 (James Bond), but a TV series that led to the motion picture industry to do James Bond movies, and that TV series was called "Danger Man."

    W.... P....

    P McGoohan brought me here"

    W.... P....

    In the US Danger Man was titled Secret Agent Man.

    W.... P....

    it was on public broadcasting in US ; as was "The Prisoner' As a kid I used to change the channel just to hear this tune

    W.... P....

    Great show. Patrick McGoohan was suave as all hell and way more admirable than James Bond.

    W.... P....

    That's right.

  94. n.... ....

    Τουμπα λαζαρου κανεις?

  95. L.... P....

    What a great song! Played this in my first garage band in '67.

  96. J.... V....

    I had to hire my two best medics and my two best cops for this job. I had to pay off the coroner too on this one. Cause of death: The usual; overdosed on drugs.

  97. T.... D....

    Ace Ventura?

  98. I.... F....
