CHORUS
(Polly)
Here we are, back where we started,
Just as much in love as before,
Who could tell when we were parted,
Fate would engage us to stage an encore?
For just awhile I was downhearted,
Life was vile and love was in vain,
But oh, I ought to know how near we are.
All I did was call , and here we are,
Back where we started in love again.
(Tony)
Isn’t it strange how fate arranges things
Constantly taking us by surprise?
(Polly)
Just when we least expect, she changes things,
Constantly making us realize
How much we owe to chance,
In spite of our resistance.
(Tony)
A smile, a sigh, a glance
Can change our whole existence.
(Both)
And so we know it must be right
That fate has led us where we are tonight.

CHORUS Reprise
(Both)
Here we are, back where we started,
Having fun as we did before,
Who could tell when we were parted,
Fate would engage us to stage an encore?
For just awhile we were downhearted,
Life was vile and full of ennui,
But though today it may seem stupid to
Still say “wack-a-doo” and “boop-a-doo”,
Back where we started we’re glad to be. (3)
