i like a " Hello "
from a lass or a fellow
it makes me mellow
like squiggly jello
like the bright color yellow

a hearty " Hello "
let's me know
it helps me to show
it helps me to go
it helps me to grow

i don't like "goodby"
"goodby" makes me sigh
"goodby" makes me cry
guess you know why
"goodby" is so sly

but, a smiling " Hello "
from a lass or a fellow
that makes me mellow
like squiggly jello
it makes my Life Yellow

yes, i could get by
without "goodby"
but, a well met " Hello "
makes me a jolly good fellow

so,
" H-E-L-L-O " !!!
