It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day   And talk about the home town a million miles away   Is the ice still in 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 the games   And by the way, did she mention my name      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 eye seem far away      Is the old roof still leaking when the late snow turns to rain   And by the way, did she mention my name      Did she mention my name just in passing   And looking at the rain   Do you remember if she dropped a name or two      Won't you say hello from someone, there'll be no need to explain   And by the way, did she mention my name
