And whatever happened to the girl we used to know?
Oh, the one with the mousy hair
All fumbling for love in the back of the car
But you never quite found it there

And the randy old barmaid, she's gone in after you
To the man with the satin bow tie
Who looks down his nose as he serves out the booze
And he'd rather you passed him by

Passed him by
And he'd rather you passed him by

And whatever happened to the deals we used to make
Watch your hands, there's a copper about!
Ah, the pub's not the same since they changed the name
And the bankers look shiny and smart

And there's no friends left, they've all married and gone
And they live on the edge of the town
All part of the team in the country club scene
And they'd rather you passed them by

Passed them by
And they'd rather you passed them by
So you've fled to the city for to find a new scene
With the posers and the girls with fast cars
And the rock-and-roll boys with their electrified toys
And the managers pass cigars

And your out on your own and you've found a new bone
Going back was crazy, I did
When your making your name, things we'll never stay the same
And it's better you passed them by

Passed them by
And it's better you passed them by

Passed them by
And it's better you passed them by

And whatever happened to the girl we used to know?
Oh, the one with the mousy hair
All fumbling for love on the park bench out tonight
But you never quite found it there

And the randy old barmaid, she's gone in after you
To the man with the satin bow tie
Who looks down his nose as he serves out the booze
And he'd rather you passed him by
Passed him by
And he'd rather you passed him by

Passed him by
And he'd rather you passed him by
