- And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go.
- Tell him that you're never gonna leave him.
- So say hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe Dimaggio.
- ...And tell Tchaikovsky the news.
- Tell my wife I love her very much. She knows.
- Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need my baby. Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
- You better tell that girl I'm gonna beat her up.
- Please tell my mother I miss her the most.
- Tell those girls with rifles for minds that their jokes don't make me laugh.
- So tell my baby I said so long. Tell my mother I did no wrong. Tell my brother to watch his own. And tell my friends to mourn me none.
