@SONG: Eddie Walker, This is Your Life --------------------------------- Won't you smile, you look so shocked By the nametag on your smock We've come to see you, Eddie Walker You may pack a little tight The girl up front says "it's allright" Look there's more of us Still gettin' off the bus We wish you'd come back home with us Eddie Walker, this is your life This one's you when you were small You were learnin' how to walk They pick you up when you came fallin' down There you are with Aunt Louise Your bouncin' on her knees Remember all those trees Behind the garden, they're gone They all got cut down when she died Eddie Walker, this is your life You never had a son or a wife You sure had a hell of a time Oh Eddie Walker, this is your life This one's you and Mary Jo But she couldn't come, she says "Hello" No, Eddie Walker, she doesn't hate your guts It's just the whole thing shook her up How they picked you up and you kept fallin' down Oh Eddie Walker, this is your life You never wore a coat or a tie You never had a reason to cry No No No No Waoh Waoh No No This whole stack and all of these Your semester overseas We're gonna leave you Eddie Walker
