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 President Coolidge is a cousin of mine
I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet
And promenade up and down on Washington Street
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
Whistler’s mother is a sister of mine
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
Yes, maybe I’ll come back
Could be I’ll be back
Maybe I’ll come back to you
