Ted Pitney & Uncle Earl
Lock up the door, throw away the key
Youll get no more love from me
Dont you know my name
wont always be the same
La dee day
Behind the door, beneath your feet
stepping on a heart that beats
Im nearly 21,
my race has only just begun
Hang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babe
Cue up the band that plays in tune
My wedding day is coming soon
Do you ever wish you'd stayed
with the promise that you made
La dee day
Tell me dear will it trouble your mind
When summers come and the rivers dry
And far away youll hear
a band thats playing loud and clear
Hang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babe
Let it rain, let it pour
Dont know what Im waiting for
But underneath my bed
are the words that you once said,
Hey babe, mmmm,
lets marry in the summertime
Lock up the door, throw away the key
Youll get no more love from me
When the band is playing on,
Ill be dreaming of a love long gone
Ill hang my head and cry,
I just said my last goodbye, babe
