Said you took a big trip

They said you moved away

Happened oh, so quietly

They say Shoulda 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 the old things

We can do all the bad things If the food gets you leery, you can always phone

We could do all the good things

We could do it, we could do it, we could do it

Don't stay in a bad place where they don't care how you are Everyone says, "Hi"

Everyone says, "Hi"

Everyone says, "Hi" And the girl next door

And the guy upstairs

Everyone says, "Hi" And your mum and dad

Everyone says, "Hi"

And your big fat dog

Everyone says, "Hi"
