A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily
Some people might not even think twice
About a girl that I named Emily

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily

About a House Sparrow I named Emily
This is only one day in the life
Of a House Sparrow I named Emily
