"Annie's Going To Sing Her Song" lyrics

Hamilton Leithauser & Paul Maroon Lyrics

"Annie's Going To Sing Her Song"
(originally by Tom Paxton)

What's your hurry? Just watch this
This is one you mustn't miss
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"

A drink for me, a drink for you
You're going to need a drink or two
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"

You never heard it sung before
I hear it twice a month or more
Complete with tears and sheepish grins
It only lacks the violins

The tune goes flat from time to time
The lyric sometimes fails to rhyme
But Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"

It sometimes lasts the whole night long
Depends on how long she's been gone
I sit and look as hard as nails
She knows the damn thing never fails

Take the bottle, fill your cup
Don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"

It isn't Annie's only tune
The other I'll be hearing soon
Next week, tomorrow, or today
She sings it when she goes away

Take the bottle, fill your cup
Don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"
Ah, Annie's gonna sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again"
