To answer your question, Cryssa, the song before was 'She' by Elvis Costello and, Kara, the reason you know the song lyrics is because you rock on. That's why. Really.

This morning I woke up to my dad singing 'For me and my Gal' outside my door, off-key. And it turns out that he, like everyone else in the house, has it stuck in his head. While that gives him no right to wake me up at 9:45 on a Sunday, it still amused me.

For Me and My Gal

HARRY: The bells are ring...ringing, for me and my gal. The birds are s-...
JO: *laughs* [spoken] Wait a minute. You better let me do it.
HARRY: [spoken] Ok

JO:
[spoken] Now....
[singing] Ding-dong, ding-dong. Do you hear the bells go ding-dong?
Do you know, do you know why they're ringin'?
Do you know why the birds are singin'?
Well, you're gonna get a big surprise,
'cause I'm gonna put you wise.
The bells are ringin' for me and my gal.
The birds are singin' for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going.
And for weeks they've been sewing, ev'ry Susie and Sal.
They're congregatin'

HARRY: [spoken] Here's the church
JO: for my and my gal.
HARRY: [spoken] and here's the steeple.
JO: the Parson's waitin'
HARRY: [spoken] open the door
JO: for me and my gal.
HARRY: [spoken] and there's the people.

JO:
And sometime we're gonna build a little home for two, or three, or four, or more,
in Loveland for me and my gal.

HARRY:
The bells are...

BOTH:
Ringing for me and my gal.
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Ev'rybody's been knowing, to a wedding they're going.
And for weeks they've been sewing,
they've been sewing something old and something new,
sew something that is blue so they can make a trousseau for my gal.
They're congregatin' for me and my gal.
Look, here!
Why, that's the Parson waitin' for me and my gal.
And sometime we're gonna build a little home

HARRY:for two
JO: or three
HARRY: or four
JO: or five
HARRY: or maybe more
BOTH: Loveland for me and my gal...

HARRY: [spoken] Remember this one?
JO: [spoken] And this...
HARRY: [spoken] You know what I can't eat for breakfast?
JO: [spoken] Why, no. I haven't the slightest idea.
Tell me, what can't you eat for breakfast.
HARRY:
[spoken] Luncheon and dinner.
Ha...Ooh!...Here comes that loveland again.
BOTH: In Loveland for me and my gal.

After You've Gone

JO:
After you've gone and left me cryin',
after you've gone there's no denyin',
you'll feel blue, you'll feel sad.
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had.
There'll come a time, now don't forget it.
There'll come a time when you'll regret it,
someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine
and you'll want me only after you've gone,
after you've gone away.
After you've gone and left me cryin',
after you've gone there's no denyin',
you're gonna feel blue,
and you're gonna feel sad,
you're gonna feel bad.
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
and you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had.
There'll come a time, now don't forget it,
there'll come a time when you'll regret it....
but, baby, think what you're doin'. I'm gonna haunt you so,
I'm gonna taunt you so.
It's gonna drive you to ruin after you've gone,
after you've gone away.

Till We Meet Again

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu.
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you.
then the skies will seem more blue.
Down in lovers lane, my dearie.
Wedding bells will ring so merrily.
Ev'ry tear will be a memory. So wait
and pray each night for me.
Till we meet...again.
