Verse One
Here in our 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
Chorus One:
It's a switch that you're flicking
A fuse you're always tripping
A b***on 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?
Verse Two:
Budapest intrigue
Three hours of black and white
Squinting at the subtitles
Through a telescopic sight
Hungarian melody
Repeating endlessly
Is this the end I see?
Approaching in front of me
Repeat Chorus One
In this hysterical epic
Secret passage of the palace
Powder from a hollow ring
Into a poisonous chalice
Unfrocked fondler
In a half moonlit gondola
Pampered hog in a ringlet wig
Gamboled a merry jig
Chorus Two
You're always pursuing
But she won't need possessing
Just undoing and undressing
Why do you keep me guessing?
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?
Verse Three
In my mystery caper
As I lower the lamp
On a fey little gunsel
Who dreamed drilling that 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 the tearful parting
The last canister rolling
On our little melodrama
Is this one-horse opera
Or a screwball comedy?
Or just mistaken identity
Well, who do you want to be?
Chorus
It's a switch that you're flicking
A fuse you're always tripping
A b***on 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?
Here in our little spy movie
With my garter and dagger
And my gag and my cuff
And my gunslinger swagger

A b***on that you're pressing

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?
