Comments:: : : : : : : : Does anybody know the entire lyrics to this song? Just curious. : : ================ : : (Consolidated and summarized based on the many exchanges that Jack had with a wide range of artists. Comedy bits may not be direct quotes, but you'll get the gist.) : : Jack: : : When you say I beg your pardon, then I'll come back to you : : When you ask me to forgive you, I'll return : : Like the swallows at Sorano : : Return to Capistrano... : : Artist: : : Wait, Jack, wait...Sorano? : : Jack: : : Yes...Sorano is a little town in Italy. : : Artist: : : Well, Jack...how could a swallow possibly fly all the way from Sorano to Capistrano? : : Jack: : : (Punch line here varied based on the artist, generally including something pertaining to their specific genre or act.) : : Look, it's MY song and if I want them to fly all that way, that's what they'll do. Now just let me sing the song... : : Like the swallows at SORANO : : Return to Capistrano : : For you my heart will ever, ever yearn. : : When you say that you are sorry, then I will understand : : 'Neath the harvest moon we'll pledge our love anew (higher) our love anew! : : So my darling, though we've parted : : Come back to whence we started, : : Artist: : : WHENCE! : : Jack: : : Yes, WHENCE! It's a poetic form of the word WHERE! : : Artist: : : But, Jack...WHENCE?!?! : : Jack: : : (This punch line also varied with the artist. For Lawrence Welk, it was "Look, if you can say WUNNAFUL, I can say WHENCE!") : : Look, just let me finish the song! : : So my darling though we've parted, : : Come back to WHENCE we started, : : And sweetheart, then I'll come back to yooooooouuuu! : : --LL : : well, i was half right...but that's the song i remember. for some reason the word "whence" stands out and that's how i remember the song.
