Starr, Edwin - Agent Double-O-Soul Lyrics






(Double-O-Soul)

I dig rock and roll music
I can do the twine and the jerk
I wear strictly continental suits
And high collared shirts

I've got a reputation of being
Gentle but bold
And that's why they call me

Agent Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
Agent Double-O-Soul
(Double-O-Soul)

They call me Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
I'm agent Double-O-Soul
(Double-O-Soul)

I don't carry no pistol
I don't wear a false mustache
And you'll never see me carrying
Around a little black bag

My real name's no secret
But from me it will never be told
I'm just known as

Agent Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
Agent Double-O-Soul
(Double-O-Soul)

They call me Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
I'm agent Double-O-Soul
(Double-O-Soul)

There once was a fella
Who was down on a rock and roll
He couldn't get himself together
He didn't have no kind of soul

The office put me on his case
And I tracked him down right away
Now he's a deejay on a radio show
A station that everybody knows

Call me Double-O-Soul
Call me Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul

At my job, I work real hard
I'm on the go
Rain, sleet, or snow

I'm agent Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
I'm Agent Double-O-Soul
(Double-O-Soul)

They call me Double-O-Soul, baby
(Double-O-Soul)
Baby, Double-O-Soul

    Lyrics
    Double-O-Soul!
    I dig rock and roll music
    I can do the twine and the jerk
    I wear strictly continental suits
    And high collared shirts.
    I've got a reputation of being
    Gentle but bold.
    And that's why they call me
    Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    Agent Double-O-Soul.
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul.
    I don't carry no pistol
    I don't wear a false mustache
    And you'll never see me carrying
    Around a little black bag.
    My real names no secret
    But from me it will never be told.
    I'm just known as Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    Agent Double-O-Soul.
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul.
    There once was a fella
    Who was down on rock and roll.
    He couldn't get himself together
    He didn't have no kind of soul.
    The office put me on his case
    And I tracked him down right away.
    Now he's a deejay on a radio show
    A station that everybody knows.
    Call me Double-O-Soul
    Call me Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    Double-O-Soul
    At my job I work real hard
    I'm on the go
    Rain, sleet, or snow.
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
    I'm Agent Double-O-Soul
    They call me Double-O-Soul baby.

    CONGRATULATIONS TO MOTOWN'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

    AND TO THE LATE AND GREAT
    EDWIN STARR WAS ALSO A PART
    OF THE MOTOWN FAMILY ALONG
    THEIR ARTIST DEVELOPMENT

  4. S.... V....

    GREAT SONG FROM THE LATE SUMMER OF 1965. EDWIN STARR, BACKED BY THE MOTOWN FUNK BROTHERS, MOST NOTABLY JAMES JAMERSON ON THE ELECTRIC FENDER BASS. EVENTUALLY, BERRY GORDY JR. BOUGHT ALL THESE SMALL LABELS WITH THE ARTISTS,BECAUSE HE WANTED AN EXCLUSIVE SOUND OF HIS OWN, DIDN'T WANT ANYONE COMPETING WITH HIM.

  5. M.... P....

    In the mid 70s Isaac Hayes had a radio show in Memphis called the double o of soul

  6. b.... t....

    1 of the best

  7. C.... W....

    for the new James Bond.

  8. R.... A....

    FORGET JAMES BOND.... E.S. DESERVES HIS OWN MOVIE!!!!

  9. S.... B....

    Motown Magic is a dope cartoon for bringing these classics back and also highlighting a beautiful black family. My baby boy loves it.

  10. g.... b....

  11. M.... P....

    Milan, Correct!! I came here from the Bassman Bob Babbitt Facebook fan page. Bob was a Motown Funk bro who played on many of Edwin's hits.

    P.S. "War" was the greatest IMO.

  31. S.... S....

    i sang on stage with edwin at the wolves civic late 70s we sang war he had his arm on my shoulder we sang with the same
    mic

    S.... S....

    I did that at The Buttermarket, Shrewsbury, late 1980's - sadly before the days when people had cameras on their phones as I would like photographic evidence.  :)

  32. M.... R....

    I've heard about this song for years, and now I've finally heard it.

  33. l.... R....

    50 yrs on gi'tar ... when i'm down on the R&R , a good shot of JB or other selected numbers - i'm TOGETHER 🎼

  34. K.... ....

    I heard this on KOMA.

    Couldn't buy it in Omaha, so I ordered it from Chicago!

  35. E.... W....

    Edwin Starr alumni from the neighborhood of east 55th in Cleveland ohio along with the Womack brothers there was pride in the success of these singers

    E.... W....

    i had the privage to sing on stage with Edwin we sang war

  36. L.... B....

    isn't this a Motown song?

    L.... B....

    No and yes... It's not recorded at Motown, and not released on Motown (although Starr later went to Motown), but the musicians here are "The Funk Brothers", who where sometimes moonlighting for other labels. They were fined by Gordy for doing so.

    L.... B....

    Yes, really...all the instrumentalists were Motown's Funk Brothers, moonlghting on this Ric-Tic single.

    L.... B....

    and then Gordy ended up buying the label...which was how Edwin Starr became a Motown artist

    L.... B....

    Motown eventually purchased Ric-Tic Records and acquired its masters and artists. Other artists included The Fantastic Four, and possibly The Parliaments (although they may have moved on from Ric-Tic at the time).

    Berry bought up several of the other local record companies. That's how he acquired the Spinners, Shorty Long, Johnny Bristol, Jr Walker and the All Stars.

  37. R.... V....

    Here is a idea- how about making a movie about a black James Bond called Agent Double-O-Soul! This song can be the soundtrack theme and you can hire Jamie Foxx as the lead character! What do you think? Thanks for the idea, Tony McGee!

  38. B.... S....

    Ric-Tic.  Happy days

  39. T.... M....

    If they make a Black James Bond movie this should be the theme song.

    T.... M....

    Oh yeah

    T.... M....

    They did. There’s a movie of the same name

    T.... M....

    Its called Shaft
