What did you mean when you opened your mouth and let all our secrets out?
|
You told him what I was about, my cover was completely blown.
|
I tell you darling, I've been watching the war films
|
And I've got a few ideas of my own,
|
'cos after the film had ended, the call for recruits was shown,
|
|
And I'll be joining the professionals, I want to be a man.
|
With all that animal magic I'll do anything you can.
|
I'm joining the professionals 'cos I want to be a man,
|
Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...
|
Join the professionals and learn to fight!
|
|
I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being timid as a lamb;
|
That may be the way I look, but it's no longer what I am.
|
I've been across to Northern Ireland,
|
And I came home with a new kind of charge:
|
I learned how to hunt in the night, I learned about camouflage.
|
|
I've been joining the professionals, and now that I'm a man
|
With all that animal magic I'll match anything you can.
|
I'm joining the professionals, this time I understand,
|
Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...
|
Join the professionals and learn to fight!
