Say nothin' what's with you? There's not much left to do Old trees grow stronger and old rivers grow wider every day But old people they just grow lonesome waiting for someone to say...say hello in there say hello ( ) So if you're walking down the street one day And spot some hollow ancient eyes Don't turn around as if you didn't care, or worse stop and stare. Say hello in there. Say hello Say hello Say hello Say say hello Say say hello Say say hello Say hello! ( )
