When you meet my baby
Walkin' down the street.
Do an old friend a favor.
Ask him how he's doin'
Does he look the same
Ask him, a, but dooon't, don't mention my name.

Tell me is he smilin'
Is he still as sweet
Did he get what he wanted.
Ask about his love life
Did the feelin' change
Ask him, a, but dooon't, don't mention my name.

I'd speak of myself, John, yaa, so ashamed
Ie yie yie,
I'd speak of myself, John, but I'm the one to blame.

When you meet my baby, ah
A-walkin' down the street.
Do an old friend a favor.
Ask him how he's doin'
Does he look the same.
Tell me, a, did he-e, did he mention my name?

When you meet my baby, ah
