Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise

And he sang all night long
All night long
Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight

He sang all night long
