    And I would walk five hundred yards,
    And I would walk three eighty more,
    Just to be the man who'd walk a half a mile
    And fall down at your door...

    Sha la la la, Sha la la la,
    Sha la la la la la la la la.

    (The maths checks out - 880 yards = 880*3 feet = 2,640 feet / 5280 = 1/2 mile.)
