The Secret Service Irving Berlin

[1st refrain:]
The secret service makes me nervous
When I am dating they are waiting to observe us
When I get ready to hold steady for the kiss you plant
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't

They're always spying, no denying
They're always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eye-ing
When I'm beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't

I've been exposed beyond control
Just like a goldfish in a bowl
The President's daughter must drink water
No drink of Scotch, she might do what she hadn't oughter
When I'm ignited, so excited that I start to pant

The secret service makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit and I say "This is it!"
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't

[2nd refrain:]
The secret service makes me nervous
Those White House "dicks" get all their kicks when they observe us
Just as I wind up, make my mind up not to say "I won't"
The secret service makes me nervous and I don't
