Getting Out of Town

I'm grabbin' my hat and coat
I'm leavin' the cat a note
Quick, call me a ferry-boat
Gettin' out of town

I'm shinin' my travelin' shoes
Big scoop in the Daily News
"Who's sayin' his toodle-oos?"
Gettin' out of town

We're leavin' the boys in style
We're linin' 'em up in file
And givin' them each a smile
Gettin' out of town

Cares fly by
They're goin' bye, bye
And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"
Wings spreadin' 'cause we're headin' for
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha

My neighbors are awful nice
They promised to feed the mice
Hey, Iceman - don't need your ice!
Gettin' out of town

Cares fly by
They're goin' bye, bye
And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"
Wings spreadin' 'cause we're headin' for
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha
Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha

A new kind of company
It's just magnetizin' me
I'm footloose and fancy-free
Gettin'
Gettin' out
Gettin' out of town
