Party In The CIA

Weird Al Yankovic · Alpocalypse [2011]

I moved out to Langley recently

with a plain and simple dream

want to infiltrate some third world place

and topple their regime

those men in black with their matching suitcases

where everything's on a need to know basis

agents got that swagger

everyone's so cloak and dagger

I'm feeling nervous but I'm really kinda wishing

for an undercover mission

that's when the red alert came on the radio

and I put my ear piece on

got my dark sunglasses on

and I had my weapon drawn



so I got my handcuffs

my cyanide pills

my classified dossier

tapping the phones like yeah

shredding the files like yeah

I memorized all the enemy spies I gotta neutralize today

yeah it's a party in the CIA



I've done a couple of crazy things that have almost got me dismissed

like terminate some head of state that wasn't even on my list

burn that microfilm, buddy, will you?

I'd tell you why but then I'd have to kill you

you need a quickie confession?

will start a water boarding session



no hurry on that South American dictator

I'll assassinate him later

that's when he walked in my laser sights

and my silencer was on

and my silencer was on

and another target's gone

yeah we got our black ops all over the world

from Kazakhstan to Bombay

paying the bribes like yeah

plugging the leaks like yeah

interrogating the scum of the earth

we'll break 'em by the break of day

yeah it's a party in the CIA

yeah it's a party in the CIA



need a country to stabilize

look no further we're your guys

we've got snazzy suits and ties

and a better dental plan than the FBI's



better put your hands up and get in the van

we're also getting blown away

staging a coup like yeah

brainwashing moles like yeah

we only torture the folks we don't like

you're probably gonna be OK

yeah it's a party in the CIA

yeah it's a party in the CIA
