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
