If he should need the FBI
Then he will have the FBI!
With all the favors that he's done
J. Edgar Hoover owes him one!
And then the midnight oil gets burned
Till not a stone is left unturned!
He will search everywhere
And he'll find them, I swear
Oh, you won't be an orphan for long!
Where other men would call it quits
And disappear
He'll use his fortune and his wits
So never fear!
Cross the street or cross the sea
Annie, sweet, we guarantee
That you won't be an orphan
No, you won't be an orphan for long!
Tomorrow morning it begins
You're with a man who always wins!
Trust in him and he'll prove
Mountains easily move
Oh, you won't be an orphan
No, you won't be an orphan for long!
