Part1
Hes not the first (x2)But hes the second best secret agent in the whole wide worldNot number oneBut not the worstHes just the second best secret agent in the whole wide worldHes every bit as good as whats his name with a dameAny dameAnd all those bullet holes are in his vest to prove you work a little harder when youre second best
-
Part2
Give him his due hes number two right in there doing his act despite the fact he shot clear throughNot the 10th 9th 8th 7th 6th 5th 4th 3th or 1th when the challenge is hurdled but the second best secret agent in the whole wide blooming world (x2).

I loved the scene with this song! The whole party scenes were great!
-
Well, well, George Smiley is taking the mickey out of a whole lot of us!
But we all know the first is neither British nor American. And he has the blooming lighter.

@EdGomide My first two tries at Sammy were - the great "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame" and "Happy To make Your Acquaintance" with Carmen McRae was blocked in so many countries i deleted it as well. Anyway I should be off, cya next week.
