I'm thinking of you tonight old pal and wishing that you 
were here
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you 
filled my heart with cheer
I remember the nights when all alone we sang Sweet 
Adeline*
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of 
mine
The old pals are always the best you see new friends you 
can find every day
pals of yesterday
[ fiddle ] (in the original, Mr. Rodgers yodels)
I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever 
think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your 
face again to see
But in my checkered life I find nothing comes right it 
seems
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be 
only in dreams
The old pals are always...
