So Long Dearie

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' at my door

For 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 have said "so long"

So long ago

Ah, you've 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 have said so long

So long ago!

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

To a fancy new address

Oh lord, I hear that choo-choo callin' me on

On board that happiness express

I'm gonna learn the hoochie koo and smoke a cigarette

I'm gonna go as far away from Yonkers as a girl can get!

So

And on those cold winter nights, Horace

Snuggle up to that old cash register!

It's a little lumpy but it rings!

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 have said so long...

So long ago!
