Said you'd took a big trip, they said you moved away Happened oh so quietly, they say Should've took a picture, something I could keep Buy a little frame, something cheap For you Everyone says "Hi" Said you sailed a big ship, said you sailed away Didn't know the right thing to say I'd love to get a letter, like to know what's what Hope the weather's good and it's not too hot For you Everyone says "Hi" Everyone says "Hi" Everyone says don't stay in a sad place Where they don't care how you are Everyone says "Hi" If the money is lousy You can always come home We can do all the old things (doo wap wap wha ooh) We can do all the bad things (doo wap wap) If the food gets you leery You can always phone We could do all the old things (doo wap wap wha ooh) We could do it, we could do it, we could do it (doo wap wap ooh) Don't stay in a bad place Where they don't care how you are Everyone says "Hi" Everyone says "Hi" Everyone says "Hi" (everyone says "Hi") And the girl next door (everyone says "Hi") And the guy upstairs (everyone says "Hi") Everyone says "Hi" (everyone says "Hi") And your mum and dad (everyone says "Hi") Everyone says "Hi" (everyone says "Hi") And your big fat dog (everyone says "Hi") Everyone says "Hi" (everyone says "Hi")
