And Aubrey Was Her Name,
And Not So Very Ordinary Girl, Or Name . . .
But Who's To Blame,
For A Love That Wouldn't Bloom,
For The Hearts That Never Played In Tune ?

Like A Lovely Melody,
That Everyone Can Sing,
Take Away The Words That Rhyme.
It Doesn't Mean A Thing . . . Hmmmm

And Aubrey Was Her Name,
We Tripped The Light,
And Danced Together To The Moon,
But Where Was June ?
No, It Never Came Around,
If It Did, It Never Made A Sound . . .
Maybe I Was Absent,
Or Was Listening Too Fast,
Catching All The Words,
But Then, The Meaning Going Past . . . Hmmmm

Oh, How I Miss The Girl,
And I'd Go A Thousand Times Around The World,
Just To Be,
Closer To Her, Than To Me.

And Aubrey Was Her Name,
I Never Knew Her,
But I Loved Her Just The Same,
I Loved Her Name . . .

Wish That I Had Found A Way,
And The Reasons That Would Make Her Stay . . .
I Have Learned To Lead A Life,
Apart From All The Rest,
If I Can't Have The One I Want.
I'll Go Without The Best . . . Hmmmm

Oh, How I Miss The Girl,
And I'd Go A Million Times Around The World,
Just To Say,
She Had Been Mine For A Day!
