[rc]   Didn't I say?
[bc]   Didn't you say?
[both] Didn't we say?
       Didn't who say?

[rc]   Didn't you say you were off to China?
       Fancy meeting you here!
[bc]   Yes, and didn't you just board an ocean liner?
       Fancy meeting you here!
[both] Didn't we agree that our affair was too frantic,
       And we'd both feel good divided by the wide Atlantic?

[rc]   Weren't you yachting off the Riviera?
[bc]   With Onnassis!
[rc]   Fancy meeting you here!
[bc]   Was it jolly roaming the Sahara?
[rc]   Dry, but laughs!
[bc]   Fancy meeting you here!
[both] If you don't think I have missed your lovin',
       Let's get this clear, dear!
[bc]   I just think it's fancy meeting you right here!

[rc]   Did you say that you enjoyed Alaska?
[bc]   Loved it, loved it!
       Did I get a note from Madagascar?
[rc]   Wrote it!
[bc]   You're a good girl!
[rc]   Didn't we divide our little world into sections?
[bc]   A clean break!
       But love has sure affected both our senses of
       directions!

[bc]   Say, tell me somethin', how did you ever lose that
       wealthy, that big fat Persian?
[rc]   'Twasn't easy!
[bc]   Fancy meetin' you here!
[rc]   Did you take that African excursion?
[bc]   I blew it!
[rc]   Yeah, for the local zoo here!
[both] If you don't think it's a kick to see ya,
       Let's get this clear, dear!
[bc]   From the way my heart is wildly beating,
[rc]   What we had is more than worth repeating,
[bc]   My arm, girl!
[both] And it's more than fancy meeting you right
       here!
