Won't you smile, you look so shocked By the name tag on your smock We've come to see you, Eddie Walker We may pack a little tight The girl up front says 'It's all right' Look there's more of us Still getting off the bus We wish you'd come back home with us Eddie Walker, this is your life This one is you when you were small You were learnin' how to walk They pick you up when you came falling 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 falling down Oh Eddie Walker, this is your life You never wore a coat or a tie You never had a reason to cry This whole stack and all of these Your semester overseas We're gonna leave you, Eddie Walker
