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

and the girl next door

and the guy upstairs

everyone says hi

and your big fat dog

everyone says hi
