Analysis of Hello And Cheerio



Give us a decent hope when we catch a star
Give us a horoscope
when we peek afar

Give us a magic wand when we change a fate
Give us a loyal bond
when we seek a mate

Give us a good return when we spend a dime
Give us a long sojourn
when we borrow time

Give us a lucky style when we take a chance
Give us a fetching smile
when we strut a dance

Give us a rhythm band when we need a beat
Give us a helping hand
when we cross a street

Give us a warm hello when we cast a die
Give us a cheerio
when we say goodbye
