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
