We have only just said 'hello'
'Hi' and 'howdy', 'hello',
Why are you looking around you as if
it is time to go?

If you're thinking of lying low:
No, no, no,
Save your slumber till we have to part
And it's "please don't go"

You arrived a short time ago,
So La Te Doe,
Join the singing until the last song
And it's "please don't go"

You're an expert in saying "no"
No, no, no,
Time in my company cannot be slow
so it's "please don't go"

If you think I have nought to show,
you ought to go,
How could you treat a poor gentleman so?
I say "no, no, no."

Oh how could you treat a poor gentleman so?
I say "no, no, no."
