Two little villages on their own   Each lord takin' care of his own   One with a son that never looks happy   The other with a daughter that dresses so snappy      They love each other and they're tryin' to get together   But the feud between the families isn't getting any better      Inside and out, tell you what it's all about   Inside and out, tell you what it's all about      There's only one thing for them to try   To lay their bodies down and die   This they do when the families see   They've been fighting so foolishly      You're listening to a true account   Of what this story's all about      It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about   It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about      Try as they may they just don't understand   What their children are doing   Or what they stand for today   Try as they may      Now you know what it's all about   Take a look inside and out   A very sad song with a tale of woe   I take my leave, I have to go      Look very deep and look very long   To find the moral of this song      It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about   It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about   It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about   It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
