So Long Dearie
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
Dont try to stop me Horace, please!
Wave your little hand and whisper
'So long dearie'
You aint gonna see me anymore
But when you discover that your life is dreary
Dont you come a knockin at my door
For Ill 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, youve treated me so rotten and rough
Ive 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
Im gonna learn the hoochie koo and smoke a cigarette
Im 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!
Its a little lumpy but it rings!
Dont come a knockin
Ill 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!
