The first time I saw you
You were out on the street
Nowhere to go
Great days and the bad ways
You were dead on your feet
And I want you to know
Hey, buddy, come on, spare a smile for your friend now
You know it's been a long long time
Hey, buddy, if you're passing through
You're passing through
Come on in, won't you come on in?
The last time I saw you
You were up at the top
Of the Rock and Roll league
Now you sing for your supper
You've got no time to stop
Tell me how do you feel?
Hey, buddy, come on, spare a smile for your friend now
You know it's been a long long time
Hey, buddy, if you're passing through
You're passing through, you're passing through
Come on in, won't you come on in?
Won't you come on in?
Hey, buddy, come on, spare a smile for your friend now
You know it's been a long long time
Hey, buddy, if you're passing through
You're passing through, you're passing through
Come on in, won't you come on in?
Won't you come on in? Won't you come on in?
