Are we rolling? One, two, one, two, three, four Here in my little spy movie With my garter and dagger And my gag and my cuff And my gunslinger swagger You used to be my hand-painted villain You used to be so thrilling It's a switch that you're flicking A fuse you're always tripping A button that you're pressing A number that you're pushing You're always delaying Denying And betraying Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Go Away, Go Away Why don't you go away? Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Budapest intrigue Three hours of black and white Squinting at subtitles Through a telescopic sight Hungarian melody Repeating endlessly Is this the end I see? Approaching in front of me A switch that you're flicking A fuse you're always tripping A button that you're pressing A number that you're pushing You're always delaying Denying Or betraying Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Go Away, Go Away Why don't you go away? Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? In this hysterical epic Secret passage of the palace Powder from a hollow ring Into the poisonous chalice Unfrocked fondler In a half moonlit gondola Pampered hog in a ringlet wig Gamboled a merry jig You're always pursuing But she won't need possessing Just undoing and undressing Please don't stop confessing You're always delaying Denying Or betraying Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Go Away, Go Away Why don't you go away? Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? In my mystery caper As I lower my lamp On a fey little gunsel Who dreamed of drilling that vamp I'm walking the shade Of this silent parade With my pepper and mace And my heartbroken face Rainy railway station Drowns out a tearful parting Last canister rolling On our little melodrama Is a one-horse opera A screwball comedy Mistaken identity Well, who do you want to be? A switch that you're flicking A fuse you're always tripping A button that you're pressing A number that you're pushing You're always delaying Denying Or betraying Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Go Away, Go Away Why don't you go away? Why don't you come back, baby? Why don't you go away? Hey hey Why don't you Go away Why don't you go away?
