I’m going back someday  
Come what may  
To Blue Bayou  
Where the folks are fun  
And the world is mine  
On Blue Bayou  
Where those fishing boats  
With their sails afloat  
If I could only see  
That familiar sunrise  
Through sleepy eyes  
How happy I’d be

I write the script, you direct my dreams  
We’re along on the beach for the passionate scene  
And it’s a drag to wake up with you, saying to me

How does it feel to be back?  
How does it feel to be back?  
How does it feel to be back in my arms again?

In the movie of your life  
They’ll get some real jerk to be you  
Edited so he can act  
Cast because of his TVQ

A close-up of yours  
A long shot of mine  
Superimposed together  
I’ll zoom in on you  
With a love that is true  
In cinemascope forever

Movies is magic  
Real life is tragic  
I regret I gotta say  
It is time we get away  
To the movies and magic

Cowboy dressed like Injun  
Popped right off that silver screen  
Scarlet up like a jukebox  
For a dreamboat Delta Queen

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,  
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,  
Cause celluloid heroes never feel any pain  
And celluloid heroes never really die.

Don’t they ever have to worry?  
Don’t you ever wonder why?  
It’s a part of me that tells you  
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die  
Never, never, never say die

Old heat of a raging fire  
Come and light my eyes  
Summer’s kiss thru electric wire  
But I’ll never die

Look now, look all around  
There’s no sign of life  
Voices, another sound  
Can you hear me now?  
This is planet earth  
You’re looking at planet earth  
Bop bop-bop, bop-bop bop bop-bop  
This is planet earth

Far above the world  
Planet Earth is blue

There is just one moon and one golden sun  
And a smile means friendship to everyone  
Though the mountains divide  
And the oceans are wide  
It’s a small world after all.

I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up  
And meet me, as it rose up before  
(I’ll know the time…)  
I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up

Seems my life is not complete, I’ve never see you smile

And many a lonely mile  
The echo of a piper’s song  
The shadow of a smile

Well now they call me the breeze  
I keep blowin’ down the road  
I ain’t got me nobody
