So best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you,
So don't stray too far from home.
Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
So, darling, just be wise,
Keep your eyes on me.
Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
From A to Z,
So, darling, just be wise,
If you're wise,
Keep your eyes on me.

Thank you! I knew I recognized him. I couldn't quite pin it down. Of course! I can't believe it. I'm a huge Battlestar Galactica fan. I guess I never expect to see him on the Love Boat.
