Al Hammerman - Red Rover

Of late I sit and ponder
What makes the heart grow fonder?
Is patience such a virtue, I contend?

Some take these things for granted
My point of view is slanted
And so I seek the aid of an old friend

Where Are You …?

Red Rover, hey I’ve been look’n to find you
Been look’n all day
Red Rover this girl I’m kinda inclined to
Keeps gett’n away

Can’t catch her cause she keeps runn’n around
Please fetch her and send her my way
By fastest plane or the straightest highway – Hey

Red Rover she knows
I know there’s no other
She says I’m the one
Red Rover still I see more of her mother
You think this is fun?

I’m patient but I grow weary dear
Red Rover, hey come on over here
Red Rover, hey I’ve been look’n to find you
To be with the one that I love

One moment she’s here the next the girl’s gone
This chick can just disappear like
Aladdin’s Genie or H. Houdini, Hey

Red Rover, by now there’s no need to mention
This girl’s out of site
Red Rover I hunger for her attention
So feed me tonight

I’m patient but I grow weary dear
Red Rover, hey come on over here
Red Rover, hey I’ve been look’n to find you
To be with the one that I love

And I know
She’s busy, so busy
Tried to follow once but I got dizzy

I’m begg’n wont you come home,
daily I see more of old Bill Bailey!

Red Rover, you know I’m crazy about you
I’m call’n your name
Red Rover, there’s just no living without you
So give up this game

I’m patient but I grow weary dear
Red Rover, hey come on over here, game is over dear
Red Rover, hey I’ve been look’n to find you
To be with the one that I love …
Won’t you come home Red Rover ….?
