He's back

He's back

My lovable prodigal's home again, out of the blue

It's odd

So odd

I woke up this morning aware a disaster was due

He's back

He's back

I feel a familiar anxiety quicken my heart

If memory serves

You shatter the nerves

We'll wait and we'll wonder

When will the calamity start?

He's back (Jacques)

He's back (is home again)

My lovable prodigal's home again out of the blue (back in town)

It's odd (Jacques)

So odd (is home, and home is)

I woke up this morning aware a disaster was due (upside down)

He's back (Jacques)

He's back (walked in again)

I feel a familiar anxiety quicken my heart (calm and strong)

If memory serves (Oh brother, dear)

He'll shatter the nerves (we're glad you're here, but)

We'll wait and we'll wonder

When will the calamity start?

Not that there's not the warm affection

Glowing in every breast

We need him, we know, but even so

We need our rest

Not that we aren't glad to see him

Not that he isn't dear

But three little words for "trouble's coming"

Three little words that spell misfortune

Three little words to make you shake are

"Jacques is here"

He's back (not that there's not the warm affection)

He's back (glowing in every breast) (walked in again)

I feel the familiar anxiety quicken my heart (we need him, we know, but even so we need our rest)

If memory serves (oh brother dear) (not that we aren't glad to see him)

He'll shatter the nerves (we're glad you're here) (not that he isn't dear)

We'll wait and we'll wonder (but three little words)

When will the calamity start? (to make you shake are)

(Jacques is here)

Jacques is here

Jacques is here

He's home

He's home

We're terribly happy to see him

As everyone knows

He's home

He's home

We'll probably need a vacation the minute he goes

Not that there's not the warm affection

Glowing in every breast

We need him, we know, but even so

We need our rest

Not that we aren't glad to see him

Not that he isn't dear

But three little words for "trouble's coming"

Three little words that spell misfortune

Three little words to make you shake are

"Jacques is here"
