Ted Pitney & Uncle EarlLock 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 dayBehind the door, beneath your feet
stepping on a heart that beats
Im nearly 21,
my race has only just begunHang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babeCue 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 dayTell 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 clearHang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babeLet 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 summertimeLock 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 goneIll hang my head and cry,
I just said my last goodbye, babe
