Lyrics:

[English]

Tell me, doctor

Where are we going this time?

Is this the fifties?

Or nineteen ninety-nine?

...

All I wanted to do

Was play my guitar and sing

Take me away

I don't mind

You better promise me

I'll be back in time

Gotta get back in time

Don't bet your future

On one roll of the dice

Better remember

Lightning never strikes twice

Please don't drive at eighty-eight

Don't wanna be late again

Take me away

I don't mind

You better better promise me

I'll be back in time

Gotta get back in time

Gotta get back in time

Get me back in time

...

Gotta get back in time

Gotta get back in time

Get back, get back.

(Get back, Marty.)

Gotta get back in time

Gotta get back in time

Get back, get back.
