I’m Goin’ Back

I know you
Your name is Sue
But who am I?
I've gotta find out
At least I'm gonna try

I'm goin' back where I can be me
At the Bonjour Tristesse Brassiere Company
They've got a great big switchboard there
Where it's just hello, goodbye
It may be dull
But there I can be just me, myself, and I
A little modeling on the side
Yes, that's where I'll be
At the Bonjour Tristesse Brassiere Company
And if anybody asks for Ella, Mella, or Mom
Tell them that I'm goin' back where I came from
To the B.T. Bras-si-ere Company

Goodbye, everybody
Goodbye, Madame Grimaldi
Goodbye, Junior Mallett
Santa Claus is a-hittin' the road
Listen to your ever-lovin' mama
Eat your spinach baby
Eat your spinach baby
By the load

La Petite Bergere Restaurant, adieu
Je ne reviendrai jamais, jamais, jamais
C'est tout fini
Adieu to you

So, goodbye Max, to your dogs and your cats
To the Duke of Windsor and His Duchess
Bye bye, Barton and Kitchell and Hastings
At last you're out of my clutches
I'll miss you but you'll carry on
You'll never know that I've gone

I'm a-goin' back where I can be me
At the Bonjour Tristesse Brassiere Company
And while I'm sittin' there I'll hope that I find out
Just what Ella Peterson is all about
In that Shangri-La of lacy lingerie
A little modeling on the side
At the Bonjour Tristesse Brassiere Company
Send me my mail there!
To the Bonjour Tristesse Company
