Calcutta

If you ever get to Calcutta

Say, "Hello" if you notice me near

I might as well go to Calcutta

'Cause you certainly don't need me 'round here

I may look you up in Calcutta

Buzz me at the bazaar, I'll be doing an act with a snake

The next time we meet, I'll be wearing a sheet

'Cause here you won't give me a break

So long, baby

I've packed up all of my junk

But the next time you see me

I'll be riding on an elephant's trunk

Won't you look for me in Calcutta

And I'll wave as I climb up my rope

You know, in your turban, you won't look suburban

At least I won't feel like a dope

You're gonna chase me off to Calcutta

Unless you tell me you love me, I hope

In Brazil, hey, baby, you bugged me

When you made such a play for that chick

(She was showing me the samba)

In Spain, when your arms could a hugged me

You were teaching some floozie a trick

(I was showing her the two-step)

In Monterey, you were fickle (never moved)

On that slow boat to China too fast

Well, how about me on the Isle of Capri

When you thought of me seldom and last

What, hold, baby

What, say let's call it a truce

Lets both fly to India

I've been acting like a silly mongoose

We could both make up in Calcutta

We could kiss as we climb up a rope

We'll start a new tango beneath an old mango

While watching rhinoceros elope

Our next report will come from Calcutta

Unless you tell me you love me, I hope

Unless you tell me you love me, I hope
