[Intro]
Are we rolling?
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Here in my little spy movie
With my garter and dagger
And my gag and my cuff
And my gunslinger swagger
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be my hand-painted villain
You used to be so thrilling
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
Budapest intrigue
Three hours of black and white
Squinting at subtitles
Through a telescopic sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Hungarian melody repeating endlessly
Is this the end I see approaching in front of me?
[Chorus]
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? Oh
[Verse 3]
In this hysterical epic
A secret passage of the palace
Powder from a hollow ring
Into the poisonous chalice
[Pre-Chorus]
Unfrocked fondler in a half moonlit gondola
Pampered hog in a ringlet wig, gamboled a merry jig
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 4]
In my mystery caper
As I lower my lamp
On a fey little gunsel
Who dreamed of drilling that vamp
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm walking the shade of this silent parade
With my pepper and mace and my heartbroken face
[Verse 5]
Rainy railway station
Drowns out a tearful parting
Last canister rolling
On our little melodrama
[Pre-Chorus]
Is a one-horse opera a screwball comedy?
Mistaken identity, well, who do you want to be?
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Hey hey
Why don't you
Go away?
Why don't you go away?
