Secret Agent Man (Songwriters: P.F. Sloan, Steve Barri)
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 tomorrowSecret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, I know they've take away your nameBeware 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 tomorrowSecret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, I know they've take away your nameSecret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, oh they've taken away your nameSwingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh, don't you let you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrowSecret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, oh they've take away your nameSecret agent man

I remember Johnny Rivers version, but that is a nice rendition as well.
Who knew Johnny Rivers is still around?
CIA has determined that everyone in a Flyover state is actually a Russian sleeper agent.
Well, you surely understand that the NSA helped them come to that conclusion, Richard Blaine.
Junior Brown has a good instrumental rendition of this, led into by a medley of a couple of old surfer tunes- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvxnbAinnb8
Used to (maybe still does) close out his shows with it.
