Secret Code Lyrics by Allan Sherman
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Once I had a secret code,
Where A was B, and B was G.
G was K, and K was J;
And J was M, and M was P.

V was X, and X was V,
And U was I, and I was U.
87 stood for Z,
And 2 for T, and T for 2.

O was 12, and Q was 17;
I still don't know what those numbers mean.
That is how we won the war;
My secret code's no secret anymore.

H was 9, and S was 33;
Oh, how that confused the enemy!
Then a recent survey showed
That I don't understand my secret code.
Once I had a secret code,   Where A was B, and B was G.   G was K, and K was J;   And J was M, and M was P.      V was X, and X was V,   And U was I, and I was U.   87 stood for Z,   And 2 for T, and T for 2.      O was 12, and Q was 17;   I still don't know what those numbers mean.   That is how we won the war;   My secret code's no secret anymore.      H was 9, and S was 33;   Oh, how that confused the enemy!   Then a recent survey showed   That I don't understand my secret code.
