Ohhhhh……
Boom boom baam baam
Boom boom baam baam
Satham ketkum kaadhilae
Kutram muttrum atru pogum
Otran vandha podhilae
Boom boom, bam bam!
Boom boom, bam bam!
The sound echoes in the ears!
Crime will completely vanish,
The moment the spy arrives!
Casting his eyes everywhere in the air,
He is the ruler who observes closely.
Yesterday's decree and the flow of fate,
He has the power to change them!
Come, O spy! Come like a ray of light!
Come, O spy! Come like the wind!
Come, O spy! Come like a spring!
Come, O spy! Come, come, come!
Dori dori, don't you worry!
Here is the prince of the night!
Don't hold any fear in your heart,
Come on, give a little smile!
If his shirt ever gets wrinkled,
He will iron it out smoothly!
But if you make evil plans,
Buddy, you will be history!
Come, O spy! Come like a ray of light!
Come, O spy! Come like the wind... oh oh!
Come, O spy! Come like a spring... oh oh!
Come, O spy! Come, come, come!
In Marvel Comics,
I searched to see if his name was there!
I asked around if he
Earned any degree from Hogwarts!
Even without background theme music,
Look at this hero showing his style!
Without speaking any punchlines,
He is the king who wins all the applause!
He will build a bomb called fear,
And plant it deep inside the heart!
He will make the enemy dance,
And send them running in terror!
Without his ears hearing it,
Even ants cannot cough!
Without his permission,
Even germs cannot spread!
Boom boom, bam bam!
Boom boom, bam bam!
The sound echoes in the ears!
Crime will completely vanish,
The moment the spy arrives!
Casting his eyes everywhere in the air,
He is the ruler who observes closely.
Yesterday's decree and the flow of fate,
He has the power to change them!
Who's that guy?
My, my, my...
He is the spy!
Fly, fly, fly!
Who's that guy? Oh oh...
My, my, my... oh oh...
He is the spy! Ho ho ho!
Fly, fly, fly!
Ohhhhh...
Boom boom, bam bam!
Boom boom, bam bam!
The sound echoes in the ears!
Crime will completely vanish,
The moment the spy arrives!
