Listen. Do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell?

Whoa who-o-o-o-a.

 

Yemen. Where the fuck is that?

Never mind. Just bomb it flat.

 

Keep this a secret between we few.

Oh, shit a brick! Here's a jounalist too.

 

Blimey! Who's the silly twat

Invited Goldberg to this chat?

(Blame it on Mike waltz)

 

Closer. Time to close up ranks.

Can we say we just dropped blanks?

And it is no big deal

 

Spin the line there's nothing here to see

No beach of national security.

 

Listen. Do you want to know a secret?

Do you promise not to tell?

Whoa who-o-o-o-a
