i met a friend quite unlike me
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
seems he believes in destiny
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
he told me of a psychic ghost
who named the girl he'd love the most
the pleasure is not mine to boast
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo

(chorus:)
what i wouldn't do
for you
if you'd only call me margaret
but oh what's the use
in loving you
now go on and find your margaret
he found a margaret fair and true
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
but she didn't move him through and through
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
soon after, maggie came along
but something about her felt all wrong
the ghost confused us all along
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo
oh, hoo ladilee lailoo

(chorus)
