So Long Dearie

Well, Horace it looks like I've nothing left to say but...

(sung)

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Don't try to stop me Horace, please

Wave your little hand and whisper, "So long, dearie"

You ain't gonna see me anymore

But when you discover that your life is dreary

Don't you come a-knockin' on my door

'Cause I'll be all dolled up and singin' that song

That says you dog, I told you so

So wave your little hand and whisper, "So long, dearie"

Dearie, should've said, "So long" so long ago

Because you treated me so rotten and rough

I've had enough of feelin' low

So wave your little hand and whisper, "So long, dearie"

Dearie, should've said, "So long"

So long ago

For I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on

To a fancy new address

Yes, I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on

On board that happiness express

I'm gonna learn to dance and drink and smoke a cigarette

I'm goin' as far away from Yonkers as a girl can get, so

(spoken)

And on those cold winter nights, Horace

You can snuggle up to your cash register

It's a little lumpy, but it rings!

(sung)

Don't come a knockin'

I'll be all dolled up and singin' that song

That says you dog, I told you so

So Horace, you will find your life a sad old story

When you see your Dolly shuffle off to glory

Oh, I should've said, "So long"

So long ago!
