All night long they sit up on the stairs; He holds her close and starts to coo: My little Margie, I'm always thinking of you; Margie, I'll tell the world I love you. Don't forget your promise to me, I have brought a home ring and everything. For Margie, You've been my inspiration, Days are never blue. After all is said and done, There is really only one. Oh Margie, Margie, it's you. My little you.”

Oh, Ouija mine, Bring back to me, The love divine; that used to be; You're D-E-A-R-I-E, Oh! Ouija, that's the spirit, you're getting near it, for that's the name he once called me. Within my eyes, the love will glow, Just like the skies of long ago; Will he return for the sake of Auld Lang Syne? Please answer yes or no Ouija; Feel my fingers slipping Soul within me gripping, Tell me Ouija, does he love me? mine.”
