(Music: John Williams / Lyrics: Don Wolf)


Jaye P. Morgan - 1964
Shirley MacLaine (Film Soundtrack) - 1965





John Goldfarb, please come home!

There's a lonesome feelin' round the Pentagon
John Goldfarb, please come home
You're the kind of hero we depend upon
John Goldfarb, please come home

There's no one (no one) as brave as you
But no one (no one) as long overdue
We somehow (somehow) don't think it's right
To take a U-2 plane and then drop out of sight

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Haven't heard a word since can't remember when
John Goldfarb, please come home
Can it be that probably you're lost again
John Goldfarb, please come home

Whether you're in Mexico or Mandalay (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get here quick, that is if you can find your way (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come and lead a life of ease here at beggin' on our knees
Johnny Goldfarb, won't you please (Come on, drive home)
Just come on home!

(John Goldfarb, please come home)
(John Goldfarb, please come home)

Whether you're in Mexico or Mandalay
Get here quick, that is if you can find your way
Come and lead a life of ease here at beggin' on our knees
Johnny Goldfarb, won't you please (Come on, drive home)
Just get on home!

Things are really swingin' at the Pentagon
John Goldfarb's comin' home
He's the kind of hero we depend upon
John Goldfarb's comin' home

He may lose direction ev'ry now and then (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We just celebrate when he turns up again (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This time Johnny's gonna say he won't ever go away
So we'll never have to say (Come on, drive home)
Please come on home


**Jaye P. Morgan made the original title song recording  during production of the film in September 1964, but her version was dropped in favour of one by the star of the film, Shirley MacLaine.
