(Scat)
Hear my voice where you are!
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star
Come back to me!
Catch a plane, catch a breeze
On your hand, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please
Come back to me!
On a mule, in a jet
With your hair in a net in a tow'l ringing wet
I don't care, this is where you should be
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn highways to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world only just come back to me!
Come back to me, come back to me!
(Scat)
What on Earth must I do
Scream and yell til I'm blue
Curse your soul!
When will you come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon,
Or the corner saloon and to rack and to roon?
Mademoiselle, where on Earth can you be?
Woah!
In a crate! In a trunk!
On a horse! On a drunk!
In a Rolls or a van
Wrapped up in mink or Saran
Woah! Any way that you can
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Well
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Come back to me
Come on back
Come back!
Hear my voice where you are!
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star
Come back to me!
Catch a plane, catch a breeze
On your hand, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please
Come back to me!
On a mule, in a jet
With your hair in a net in a tow'l ringing wet
I don't care, this is where you should be
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn highways to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world only just come back to me!
Come back to me, come back to me!
(Scat)
What on Earth must I do
Scream and yell til I'm blue
Curse your soul!
When will you come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon,
Or the corner saloon and to rack and to roon?
Mademoiselle, where on Earth can you be?
Woah!
In a crate! In a trunk!
On a horse! On a drunk!
In a Rolls or a van
Wrapped up in mink or Saran
Woah! Any way that you can
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Well
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Come back to me
Come on back
Come back!
