Hello old friend



Paris' rooftops were lovely to see Switzerland's vertical landscape Crossed my mind's eye just now Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me But it's been too long a time Since last I crossed That vast Nantucket sound REFRAIN Hello old friend Welcome me home again Well, I've been away But that's all over now Say I can stay for October, now Stay a while and play Little dog David I must look like a fool I should've remembered You'd be forgetting my smell, well Give me a week or two to recapture my cool I've got stories to tell About how I snatched the devil's catch And out ran the hounds of hell REFRAIN
