Lyrics

This is the one situation
 I wanted most to avoid
 Nothing I say will convince him
 This isn't a trick.
 A drink on clear moonlit night--
 I relax, she smiles,
 There's something peculiar
 Going on.
 So through no fault of my own
 I'm stuck here to carry the can.
 Embarrassed, uncertain, marooned.
 Now she can't be working for them--
 I mean us--
 She seems to know what she's doing,
 But where is he?
 He has to turn up,
 He wanted this meeting,
 Didn't he?
 Maybe he's scared,
 But he didn't seem scared
 In the game.
 Oh, I just couldn't care less.
 He can go right ahead,
 Go and wreck his career,
 I know I've done my best.
 Well, at least
 She's a good looking spy.
 What if my Russian friend
 Thinks that my plans
 Are more of an intimate kind?
 If I don't say something
 And soon
 He'll go.
 Maybe I'm on nobody's side!
 Listen, I hate to break up the mood.
 Get to the point,
 Begin the beguine.
 Haven't you noticed
 We are a protagonist short,
 In this idyllic,
 Well-produced scene?
 He couldn't wait
 To join you up here.
 Maybe he walked--
 Cable cars scare him.
 Never mind him,
 I haven't missed him so far.
 Maybe it won't do any harm
 To struggle on without his charm.
 Funny how all at one I feel
 That he can go jump off the mountain--
 I won't care!
 ♪
 This is the one situation
 I wanted most to avoid.
 My dear opponent--
 I really can't imagine why.
 So I am not dangerous then?
 What a shame.
 No, you're not dangerous.
 Who could think that of you?
 You are so strange.
 Why can't you be
 What you want to be?
 You should be scheming,
 Intriguing,
 Too clever by half!
 I have to hand it to you
 For you've managed
 To make me forget
 Why I ever agreed on this farce.
 I don't know why
 I can't think of anything
 I would rather do
 Than be wasting my time
 On mountains with you.
 ♪
 Who'd ever think it?
 Such a very pretty setting.
 Tell me what's the betting,
 Very pretty plotting, too.
 No matter--
 I've done all your work for you.
 ♪
 Freddie.
 Who'd ever guess it?
 Daughter in collaboration
 With the very nation
 Gave her father third degree.
 Where's Daddy, dead,
 Or in the KGB?
 ♪
 While my second has been curling up with my opponent,
 I have agreed to new terms with Global Television,
 which in short means more money--
 for you as well, but that can't be helped.
 Therefore, this meeting is unnecessary.
 The match can continue and we don't have to be friends.
