Lyrics

Love is like a boomerang
That zings and zooms and zings and zooms
It’s way into your heart
Love is like a boomerang
For what you give is what you get
From someone else’s heart
Throw a little kiss and someone else
Will throw a dozen from some unexpected part
Love is like a boomerang
That zings and zooms and zings and zooms
It’s way into your heart
Night, a beautiful night
They cuddle up tight
The moon is above
Kiss, they hug and they kiss
They kiss and they hug
They think they’re in love
Soon, a wedding in June
The Mendelssohn tune
Is something to live for
But they mustn’t forget
They’re going to get
As much as they give, for

Love is like a boomerang
That zings and zooms and zings and zooms
It’s way into your heart
Love is like a boomerang
For what you give is what you get
From someone else’s heart
Throw a little kiss and someone else
Will throw a dozen from some unexpected part
Love is like a boomerang
That zings and zooms and zings and zooms
It’s way into your heart
