lyrics

Well I got machine gun dreams,
Darlin’ you know what I mean.
I wanna visit countries, I wanna join the navy,
I can see you and me aren’t gonna last, I’ve gotta leave.

Please don’t feel bad Mary. I gotta travel, I cannot get married.
You don’t have to remember me, but please don’t forget me.
You’ll always be my Buffalo Gal.

I can see Bedford Falls ain’t the place for me,
I’ve got to leave.

So we got hitched
And Mary I guess I was wrong before.
You are pretty swell, you’re my Buffalo Gal,
Let’s hitch a cab, the weather’s bad, I don’t care, soon we’ll be gone
From here.

Still got machine gun dreams
About all this world you and I will see,
But Mary there’s a bank run,
Mary I can’t come.
Can’t you see how much my father’s business means to me.
I’m stuck again.

I’m bats. I’m crazy, I’m bats.

The most exciting sounds in the world are anchor chains, motor planes, whistling trains.
The most exciting sounds in the world are anchor chains, motor planes, whistling trains.
The most exciting sounds in the world are anchor chains, motor planes, whistling trains.

I can see Bedford Falls ain’t the place for me.
I can see Bedford Falls is the place
I’ll never leave.
