Irving Berlin - They Love Me Lyrics

[Verse:]
Oh! What a trip
What a wonderful trip
And to think that I was worried
At the start of the trip
I must confess that I was filled with doubt
But there was really nothing to worry about

[1st refrain:]
They love me, they love me
I'm welcome everywhere with open arms

They love me, they love me
I never knew I had so many charms

In Pakistan they took me sailing on a lovely lake
In India they let me see a mongoose kill a snake

Because they love me, they love me
And they want me to come back again

[2nd refrain:]
They love me, they love me
In Tokyo they think that I'm a dream

They claimed me and named me
"America's Ambassador Supreme"

They always have a banquet on the day that I arrive
In Borneo they made me eat an octopus alive

Because they love me, they love me
And they want me to come back again

[3rd refrain:]
They love me, they love me
With every place I visit it's the same

They meet me and greet me
With every kind of present you can name

A chieftain in New Guinea with his forehead painted red
Presented me with a poison arrow and a shrunken head

Because they love me, oh they love me
And they want me to come back again

[3rd refrain:]
They love me, they love me
I smile when I'm presented with a key

In Thailand 'twas my land
I spent a happy day from two to three

The day I left Arabia my seat was full of bumps
They made me ride a camel where I sat between the humps

Because they love me, they love me
And they want me to come back
They want me to come back
They want me to come back again
