Two little villages on their own

Each lord takin' care of his own

One with a son that never looks happy

The other with a daughter that dresses so snappy



They love each other and they're tryin' to get together

But the feud between the families isn't getting any better



Inside and out, tell you what it's all about

Inside and out, tell you what it's all about



There's only one thing for them to try

To lay their bodies down and die

This they do when the families see

They've been fighting so foolishly



You're listening to a true account

Of what this story's all about



It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about

It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about



Try as they may they just don't understand

What their children are doing

Or what they stand for today

Try as they may



Now you know what it's all about

Take a look inside and out

A very sad song with a tale of woe

I take my leave, I have to go



Look very deep and look very long

To find the moral of this song



It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about

It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about

It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about

It's inside and out, tell you what it's all about
