Lyrics
This is a terribly serious matter
The government's future is in jeopardy
This fellow Ward went and threatened Profumo
He can't keep his mouth shut
How best can we deal with him?
Shift the blame and blacken his name
Let's find a way to put him inside
Shift the blame, put him in the frame
And keep the whole damn thing classified
Now that Ivano's been called back to Russia
There isn't a chance we can get Ward for espionage
And by the way, he was working on our behalf
Writing useless reports on Ivano's proclivities
So no charge for espionage
There must be something else we can do
It's high time we thought of a crime
Manipulation, nothing new
Hollis is right, there's no chance of conviction
Perhaps we should focus on sexual behavior
Immoral earnings, now that might be possible
Some of those girls must have slipped him a bob or two
That's the one, can you get it done?
It won't be easy, but we can try
What I need is you to succeed
Then we can all kiss Ward goodbye
We can all kiss Ward goodbye
We all know the way it should go
Manipulation, that's the technique
Now forget that we ever met
This conversation must not leak
This conversation will not leak
This conversation will not leak
This conversation will not leak
