Old lock, old door
Old yard, overgrown
I'm up, up and gone
So long, so long
For now I love someone
Our love is a song
That we sing, that's been sung
By our parents and their parents
They swear it and we swear it now
Now we love someone
We both bellow "Hello!"
We both bellow "Hello"
I don't want "no", no "I guess so"s
just "yes"es or instead "so long, so long"
And you don't love no one
Because my wins are your wins
In the sleet, in the spring
And your losses are my losses when you're opposite me only
Now we love somebody
We both bellow "Hello!"
We both bellow "Hello! How are you? How are you? Hello!"
