[Verse 1]
Staring from a cardboard castle down and out
One of life's young students finds out what it's all about
Paper flutters, angry taxi drivers shout
From the pages of a paper, candles shine
On a perfect table laid for two who love to dine
They suggest a highly recommended wine
Once again the same old line
[Chorus 1]
Why so sad, my fine young friend?
Why so blue?
[Verse 2]
Weary carriage horses stand in single file
Someone at a crowded bus stop wears a friendly smile
Touching nerves that no one's heard from in a while
Papers from the same old file
[Chorus 1]
Why so sad, my fine young friend?
Why so blue?
[Verse 3]
Sometimes, when eyes meet, you know
They have to meet again
Sometimes birds of a feather
Got to fly together
From a dingy attic window candles shine
On a perfect table laid for two who love to dine
Now they drink the highly recommended wine
Free at last and feeling fine
[Chorus 2]
I'm so glad, my fine young friend
Glad for you
I'm so glad, my fine young friend
Glad for you
[Outro]
You used to be so blue, you used to be so blue
Why so blue?
