Did She Mention My Name

It's so nice to meet an old friend

And pass the time of day

And talk about the hometown

A million miles away



Is the ice still on the river

Are the old folks still the same

And by the way

Did she mention my name?



Did she mention my name just in passing?

And when the morning came

Do you remember if

She dropped a name or two?



Is the home team still on fire

Do they still win all their games

And by the way

Did she mention my name?



--- Instrumental ---



Is the landlord still a loser?

Do his signs hang in the hall?

Are the young girls still as pretty?

In the city in the fall?



Does the laughter on their faces

Still put the sun to shame?

And by the way

Did she mention my name?



Did she mention my name just in passing?

And when the talk ran high

Did the look in her eyes seem far away

Won't you say hello for someone

There'll be no need to explain

And by the way

Did she mention my name?



Oh, by the way

Did she mention my name...?
