Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double-crossed my mind.
You’re so sharp in your suit and tie, your scotch close beside them.
Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double-crossed my mind.
On a rogue’s holiday in Haiti or Helsinki
always ready for a “business opportunity.”
On the lam in Brazil, Prague, or Bombay
living large in Jakarta on just your prospects.
Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double-crossed my mind.
You come off as so kind, endlessly obliging.
Your delivery is so sublime I wish I could live inside it.
Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double-crossed my mind.
Slow boat to China, ends up in Hawaii
chasing stolen jewels to an island beauty.
She said: “Money won’t make you happy.”
You said: “No, but I like to have it around
so I can choose the type of misery that’s most agreeable to me.”
Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double crossed my mind.
You come off as so kind, but you’re endlessly conniving
& when at last you stab 'em in the back, the hilt is always gilt & ivory.
Harry Lime, Harry Lime, you’ve double-crossed my mind.
