They Love Me Lyrics - Perry Como

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! 

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 be sailing on a lovely lake 

In India they let be see a mongoose kill a snake 

because they love me, they love me 

an' they want me to come back again! 

They love me, they love me! 

In Tokyo they think that I'm a "dream" 

They claimed me an' 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 

an' they want me to come back again! 

They love me, they love me! 

With every place I visit it's the same! 

They meet me, an' 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 

an' a "shrunken head" 

Because they love me . . . oh they love me 

an' they want me to come back again! 

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 

an' they want me to come back 

they want me to come back 

they want me to come back again!
