So Long Dearie

Dolly

Well, Horace, it looks as if there's nothing more for me to say, but--

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

Because 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 would have said so long

So long ago

For I can hear that choo choo callin' me on

To a fancy new address

Yes, I can hear that choo choo callin' me on

On board that happiness express

I'm gonna learn to dance and drink and smoke a cigarette

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

And on those cold winter nights, Horace

You can snuggle up to your cash register

It's a bit 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!
