Goodnight and Thank You

Goodnight and thank you, Magaldi

You've completed your task

What more could we ask of you now?

Please sign the book on your way out the door

And that will be all

If we need you, we'll call

But I don't think that's likely somehow

Oh, but it's sad that when a love affair dies

But we have pretended enough

It's best that we part, stop fooling ourselves

Which means "Get stuffed"

Having arrived it matters to be

Photographed, noticed continually

Goodnight and thank you, whoever

She's in all the magazines

She wouldn't have been on her own

We don't like to rush but your case has been packed

If we've missed anything, you could give us a ring

But we don't always answer the phone

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies

But when we were hot, we were hot

I know you'll look back on the good times we've shared

But Eva will not

There is no one, no one at all

Never has been and never will be a lover

Male or female

Who hasn't an eye on

In fact they rely on

Tricks they can try on their partner

They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them

Support them, promote them

Don't blame them

You're the same

Now you are recognized, visually known

You need to move to the microphone

Goodnight and thank you, whoever

We are grateful you found her

A spot on the sound radio

We'll think of you every time she's on the air

We'd love you to stay

But you'd be in the way

So put on your trousers and go

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies

The decline into silence and doubt

Our passion was just too intense to survive

For God's sake, get out!

Fame on the wireless as far as it goes

It's all very well, but every girl knows

She needs a man she can monopolize

With fingers in dozens of different pies

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies
