Hello Buddy, I can see how you've been
You had all the luck that passed me by
Hello Buddy, won't you bring me on in
Cut me off a piece of your pie

Hello Buddy, it's a shame and a sin
Making all that money on your own
Hello Buddy, don't you know your old friend
Standin' on the doorstep all alone

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why - why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind eye

Hello Buddy, well, my woman has gone
Left me, gone away without a word
Hello Buddy, don't you think it was wrong
Tell me it's the worst thing that you've heard

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why - why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind eye

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why - why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind eye

Hello Buddy, I can see how you've been
You had all the luck that passed me by
Hello Buddy, won't you bring me on in
Cut me off a piece of your pie

Hello Buddy - hello Buddy
