LYRICS
\nNo, please wait
\nNo, no… please wait
\nDon’t swallow the secret<\/p>\n

No! Please don’t swallow the secret
\nDo you want to know why
\nI’m not a spy
\nDon’t want it to be unheard
\nThat would be absurd<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you why
\nI’m not a spy<\/p>\n

I don’t know why
\nYou want to swallow the secret
\nDon’t swallow the secret<\/p>\n

Rather you spill your guts
\nI know it might sound nuts
\nBut there’s no enemy in me
\nThere’s no enemy in me<\/p>\n

Don’t swallow the secret
\nOr it will kept in all this $hit
\nThat’s not how anybody wants it<\/p>\n

Spy Techniques of the Revolutionary War – Mount Vernon \/www.mountvernon.org
\nCiphers and secret codes were used to ensure that the contents of a letter could not be read… In haste, the spy swallowed the silver ball to avoid detection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other materials were used to hide messages, ranging from buttons on a textile to hollowed out small, silver balls. One particularly unlucky British spy named Daniel Taylor was caught in New Windsor, New York with a message sent from Henry Clinton to John Burgoyne hidden inside one of these small silver balls. In haste, the spy swallowed the silver ball to avoid detection. However, Patriot soldiers forced the spy to drink a purgative and vomit up the ball. Momentarily undeterred, Taylor grabbed the ball and swallowed it again. Under the threat of being hanged and having the ball cut out of his stomach, Taylor relented. However, Taylor would eventually meet the cruel fate of the gallows, executed on October 16, 1777.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
