Should-a, could-a always after
Wouldn’t, couldn’t live with laughter.

Should-a, would-a always after
Couldn’t, wouldn’t live life’s chapter.

How-da route-a ever hallowed
Route-a how-da she can’t follow?

How-da girl-a ever shallow
Girl-a how-da never’s shadow?

Could-a, would-a after always
Shouldn't, couldn’t happiness.

Could-a, should-a after always
Wouldn't, couldn’t, won’t come, again.
