The Life of Riley

The Life of Riley (one inspirational life of a spy )

To live a life of Riley, is what most would like to see Even though that very life, is shrouded in mystery His birth place was in Ireland! Wrong, please try again America or Scotland? two further errors made Our Irishman is Russian, so the KGB did say He always had a master plan, as all good spies do All as good as Baldricks, and ran as badly too! Marching up to the Kremlin gates Demanding in the name of the King Lenin would surely want to know the view of Great Britain Siberian Red Guards were on that day Who did not understand any word he would say And when they decided that enough was enough…. Put down their rifles and beat Riley up Battered and bruised to Poland he ran To the British Embassy, he had a new plan Capture the unsuspecting Lenin Then march him through town Making sure that Lenin’s trousers were down Surely the Bolsheviks would fall To the Ambassador, this plan sounded good Gave him some money, sending him back Riley enriched spent it all at the track Living a life of Riley

Once mire unto the Kremlin he drove He had bought himself a car Only to find the gates were shut His journey truly barred Siberian Red Guards were on that day Who did not understand any word he would say And when they decided that enough was enough…. Put down their rifles and beat Riley up Sixteen times he tried to ruse Every one he ended up bruised Finally the Russians had enough Arresting Riley in Operation Trust That is where poor Riley did go Exactly where? We will never know But think very carefully before you do go To live the Life of Riley
