I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees
I will come back when the birds make love to the bees
I will come back when the sun refuses to shine
And Frankie Sinatra is a cousin of mine
I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet
And promenade up and down every Washington street
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
And Frankie Sinatra is a cousin of mine
I came back to thank you
But instead of making a speech I thought
you would understand better what I feel
If I sing you a song which you all know and which you all love
A song which tells of the nostalgia we all feel
when we think of home
