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. CHORUS. 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. (Doo wap wap wha oo). We can do all the bad things. (Doo wap wap). If the food gets too eerie. You can always phone home. We could do all the good things. (Doo wap wap wha oo). We could do it we could do it we could do it. (Doo wap wap oooo). 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).
