This has been bugging me for yearsand everyone thinks I made it up. Lyrics are:
When the door did open, there to my surprise, stood a sweet young girl with golden hair and a twinkle in her eye. She said Hey Mister, can you tell me please the time of day? Hey Mister won’t you listen to the things I say? Hey Mister, won’t you take me down the way you been; I’ve been sixteen years in this old back yard don’t wanna see this place again…. he said he was in the war; he never came back to see us so Mama had an open door.

I don’t know what it was in Australia, but in the U.S it was “I’ll Be There” by The Jackson 5, in England it was Woodstock, by Matthews Southern Comfort.

The Cicadas started out as a middle-of-the-road band called the The Hi-Fi’s until they caught the Merseybeat bug. They later moved to the UK where they released a number of singles, notably The Magic Book (1966), using the name The Gibsons. (See The Gibsons’
UK discography at 45-rpm.org.uk.)

Words of love by the Mamas and the Papas

Words of love, so soft and tender
Won’t win a girl’s heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she’s never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won’t get you where you want to go

If you go to the ultimate guitar site and do a search you will find words and music also you can listen to the song.
Cheers

I heard a Duet in the early 70″s Which combined the lyrics of “Words of love so soft and tender cant win a girls heart anymore” by the Mama and Papas and “Words all i have is words” by the Bee Gees The duet may have been sung by Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch but I cant find it on their discographies, It may have been at a concert but i did hear it on the radio
