you gotta walk that mile honeychild
you gotta walk that mile honeychild

well i'll show you what is hip
as we walk down leeson strip
and i'll do it for the ghost of a smile

just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

you can't take it with you when you go
you can't take it with you when you go
you gotta walk, walk that mile
and i'll be with you honeychild
and i'll do it for the ghost of a smile

just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

don't wait too long
don't wait too long
don't wait too long
or i'll be gone

just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
ghost of a smile
ghost of a smile
ghost of a smile
