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)
