Lyrics
Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
Goldfinger
Music by John Barry, Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

Background
This is the title song from the 1964 James Bond movie 'Goldfinger', with Sean Connery as James Bond and Gert Froebe as Goldfinger. The movie is also known as 'Ian Fleming's Goldfinger' and in Germany as 'James Bond 007 - Goldfinger'. It was the third movie in the record-breaking James Bond series and the first to feature a vocal track over the opening credits.
This song was a worldwide hit, and sold more than a million copies in the USA alone and gave Shirley Bassey a Gold Disc in May 1965. The Peak US Billboard position was No. 8 for the United Artists single and the soundtrack LP reached No. 1. In the UK the song reached a surprisingly modest No. 21 on Columbia. This was Shirley Bassey's first song for a James Bond Movie. Diamonds Are Forever followed in 1971 and Moonraker in 1979. Nobody else has been asked to record more than one James Bond theme.
On The Best Of James Bond -- 30th Anniversary Limited Edition a version of Goldfinger sung by Anthony Newley himself has been released. You can also listen on-line to it in Nuvs' 007 Shrine. Read about lyricist Anthony Newley at The Joker.
Shirley Bassey said about Goldfinger: "John Barry wrote the music. We were touring in England at the time and he was conducting for me. One day he said, 'There is this new song for the James Bond film Goldfinger and we'd like you to do it. I know your rule that you will never listen to a song unless there are words. There are no words, I must warn you - there's only the music, which I have done. And we're waiting on the lyrics.' And because we had such a wonderful relationship on our tour I said to John, 'Well, I'll listen to it. I'll break my rule.' And thank God I did, because the moment he played the music to me, I got goose pimples, and I told him, 'I don't care what the words are. I'll do it.' And fortunately the words were great."
In the sixties composer John Barry did share a bachelor pad with Michael Caine. In Caine's autobiography, he recalls being kept awake, off and on, till dawn one night. He found Barry slumped over the piano having just finished Goldfinger. Harry Saltzman, the Bond producer, hated the Goldfinger theme and much of the rest of what Barry came up with - John Barry said: "Harry would start with, 'This is crap!' And it went downhill from there." es.
In an actual survey among Bond fans about all Bond films, Goldfinger won in multiple categories including soundtrack.
Goldfinger was also part of the soundtrack to the 1998 British movie Little Voice, which starred Jane Horrocks.
