Lyrics

<poem> Making somebody happy is a question of give and take You can learn how to show it so come on, give yourself a break Every smile and every little touch Don't you know that they mean so much? Sweet, sweet kisses so tender Always will return to sender

Like a bang, a boome-boomerang Dum-de-dum-dum de-dum-de-dum-dum Oh bang, a boome-boomerang Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum By giving away, I think you'll learn You'll get love in return So bang, a boome-boomerang is love A boome-boomerang is love

Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere When you feel that you've found it my advice is to take good care Never use it as a selfish tool Never ever be such a fool Every feeling you're showing Is a boomerang you're throwing

Yes a bang, a boome-boomerang Dum-de-dum-dum de-dum-de-dum-dum Oh bang, a boome-boomerang Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum By giving away, I think you'll learn You'll get love in return So bang, a boome-boomerang is love

And if you're warm and tender I'll kiss you, return to sender, please surrender

Bang, a boome-boomerang Dum-de-dum-dum de-dum-de-dum-dum Oh bang, a boome-boomerang is love A boome-boomerang is love
