It's so nice to meet an old friend
5 -5 5 -5 6 -6
and pass the time of day
-8 -8 -8-8 7 7 -7
And talk about the hometown
6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
a million miles away
6 7 8 8 8 -8 -8 7
Is the ice still in the river?
5 5 -5 5 -5 6 -6
Are the old folks still the same?
-6 -8 7 -7 6 6 -6 6 -5 5
And by the way, did she mention my name?
5 -5 -6 -6 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
Did she mention my name just in passing?

And when the morning came,
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -8
do you remember if she dropped a name or two?

Is the home team still on fire?
5 5 -5 5 -5 6 -6
Do they still win all the games?
-6 -8 7 -7 6 6 -6 6 -5 5
And by the way, did she mention my name?
