  • Double-O-Soul!
    I dig rock and roll music
    I can do the twine and the jerk
    I wear strictly continental suits
    And high collared shirts.
    I've got a reputation of being
    Gentle but bold.
    And that's why they call me
    Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    Agent Double-O-Soul.
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul.

    I don't carry no pistol
    I don't wear a false mustache
    And you'll never see me carrying
    Around a little black bag.
    My real names no secret
    But from me it will never be told.
    I'm just known as Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    Agent Double-O-Soul.
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul.

    There once was a fella
    Who was down on rock and roll.
    He couldn't get himself together
    He didn't have no kind of soul.
    The office put me on his case
    And I tracked him down right away.
    Now he's a deejay on a radio show
    A station that everybody knows.
    Call me Double-O-Soul
    Call me Double-O-Soul

    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul

    At my job I work real hard
    I'm on the go
    Rain, sleet, or snow.
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby. Writer/s: BILL SHARPLEY, EDWIN STARR
