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?
