A gave it a listen. I couldn't get everything, but I think I have made a small improvement over what was already posted. Words I have changed or added are boldfaced. Words I can't get (sometimes several words in a row) are indicated by an ellipsis (…):


HELLO, WHO'S THERE?
As sung by July on "July" (1968)

Hello! Who's there?
Hello! Who's there?
Hello!
Hello! Who's there?
Hello! Who's there?
Hello!

Could it be a lady with a
flower in her hair?
Ooh!


Who goes, friend or foe?
Who goes? I don't know.
Who goes?
Who goes, friend or foe?
Who goes? I don't know.
Who goes?

Could it be a ... with another …?

One! Two! One, two, three, four,
Who's that knocking at my door?

Hello! Who's there?
Hello! Who's there?
Hello!
Hello! Who's there?
Hello! Who's there?
Hello!

Could it be a lady with a flower in her hair?
Oi!


A! B! A, B, C, D,
Who's that calling out for me?
It's still a mystery.
I want to be sure as I can be.
