Up in New York City, 'neath the bamboo treesShe was
eating sushi, he was on his kneesHe tried to say he
loved her but he could not winShe just fixed her lipstick
and kept ignoring himShe was headed for a crash and
it even hurt to laugh'Cause it ended with a bangWhen
it all came back like a boomerangWhen it all came back
like a boomerangShe went to a party,
where thieves and debutantsAll talked in italics with
so much nonchalanceHe was on the outside,
standing in the rainHe saw her through the window,
he could not stand the painShe was headed for a crash
and it even hurt to laugh'Cause it ended with a bangWhen
it all came back like a boomerangWhen it all came back
like a boomerangShe went up the staircase with a sleazy
Mideast guestWho could not help staring through her
flimsy cocktail dressHe broke into the bedroom,
they put him on the spotHe pulled off his pistol,
they never heard the shotsThey were headed for a crash
and it even hurt to laugh'Cause it ended with a bangWhen
it all came back like a boomerangWhen it all came back
like a boomerangWhen it all came back like a boomerang
