Each lord takin' care of his own
 One with a son that never looks happy
 The other with a daughter that dresses so snappy

 They love each other and they're tryin' to get together
 But the feud between the families isn't getting any better

 Inside and out, tell you what it's all about
 Inside and out, tell you what it's all about

 There's only one thing for them to try
 To lay their bodies down and die
 This they do when the families see
 They've been fighting so foolishly

 You're listening to a true account
 Of what this story's all about

 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about

 Try as they may they just don't understand
 What their children are doing
 Or what they stand for today
 Try as they may

 Now you know what it's all about
 Take a look inside and out
 A very sad song with a tale of woe
 I take my leave, I have to go

 Look very deep and look very long
 To find the moral of this song

 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
 It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
