Forget About the Boy

No canary in a cage for me
This canary's ready to fly free

Cut the cord
Is that a man I once adored?
He's nothing but an albatross
No great loss, double-crosser
Forget about the boy

Pull the plug
Ain't he the one who pulled the rug?
He's lower than an alley cat, dirty rat
And I flatter

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy

And in the moonlight
Don't you think about him
Sister, you're much better off without him
You can blow the blues a kiss goodbye
And put the sun back in the sky
For when he comes crawlin'
I'm not fallin'!

Shout hooray
And halleluh
Now me and mister wrong are through
I'll find myself another beau
Who I know
Is no rover

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about

Jimmy, oh Jimmy
(Horace, Danny, Milton)
(Percy, Edgar)
Jimmy (Timothy, Alfred, Vito Carbone)
(Benjamin Pratt the third, Teddy Morgan)
(Barney Schreiber, C.P.A.)

(Cut the cord) Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy (is that a man I once adored?)
Silly boy (he's nothing but an albatross)
Gee, what a real swell guy (no great loss, double-crosser)
(Forget about the boy)

(Pull the plug) Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy (ain't he the one who pulled the rug?)
Oh, what joy (he's lower than an alley cat, dirty rat)
He makes my troubles fly (and I flatter)

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy

Shout hooray
And halleluh!
Now me and mister wrong are through
I'll find myself another beau
Who I know
Is no rover

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
(Forget about the boy)

And in the moonlight (ah-ah)
Don't you think about him (ah-ah)
(Sister, you're much better off without him)
You can blow the blues a kiss goodbye
And put the sun back in the sky
(For when he comes crawlin')
I'm not fallin'!
Hallelujah!

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about
The boy!
