Thunderball (1965)

Title Song: Thunderball
by Don Black, performed by Tom Jones

He always runs while others walk.
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world and wants it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants he'll get.
He will break any heart without regret.

His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

Original Theme: Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
by Leslie Bricusse, performed by Dionne Warwick

He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark he looks for trouble,
That's why the zero's double,
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can sooth you like vanilla.
The gentleman's a killer.
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.
No, he's no fool.
He's no fool.
He's no fool.
