We Were the G-Men

We were the vaunted G-Men once... we did our little bit.
Where now we could not qualify... to be part of it.

For now the FBI is not the group it used to be...
It is the model of success and true efficiency.

We had to learn the hard way then the things we did not know...
And as we took our chances great, we helped the Bureau grow.

We suffered heartaches and we lost the lives of several men...
But surely every one of us would do that job again.

Because today the FBI is worthy of its name....
And we are proud and happy that we helped create its fame.
