They Love Me ~ Kaye Ballard
- Oh! What a trip!
- What a wonderful trip!
- And to think that I was worried
- at the start of the trip!
- I must confess that I was filled with
doubt
- but there was really nothing to worry
about!
-
- They love me, they love me!
- I'm welcome everywhere with open
arms!
- They love me, they love me!
- I never knew I had so many charms!
-
- In Pakistan they took me sailing on a
lovely lake
- In India they let be see a mongoose
kill a snake
- because they love me, they love
me
- an' they want me to come back again!
-
- They love me, they love me!
- In Tokyo they think that I'm a
"dream"
- They claimed me an' named me
- "America's Ambassador
Supreme"
-
- They always have a banquet
- on the day that I arrive
- In Borneo they made me eat
- an octopus "alive!"
- Because they love me? . . . they love
me
- an' they want me to come back again!
-
- They love me, they love me!
- With every place I visit it's the
same!
- They meet me, an' greet me!
- With every kind of present you can
name!
-
- A chieftain in New Guinea
- with his forehead painted
"red"
- presented me with a poison arrow
- an' a "shrunken head"
- Because they love me . . . oh they
love me
- an' they want me to come back again!
-
- They love me, they love me!
- I smile when I'm presented with a
key!
- In Thailand 'twas my land
- I spent a happy day from two to three!
-
- The day I left Arabia
- my seat was full of bumps . . .
- They made me ride a camel
- where I sat between the humps!
- Because they love me . . . they love
me
- an' they want me to come back
- they want me to come back
- they want me to come back again!
