Anne L. Nathan - Forget About the Boy lyrics

MILLIE: 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 Doublecrosser 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, Jimmy TYPIST #1: Horace TYPIST #2: Danny TYPIST #3: Milton TYPIST #4: Percy TYPIST #5: Edgar TYPIST #6: Timothy TYPIST #7: Alfred TYPIST #8: Vito Carbone TYPIST #9: Benjamin Pratt, the third TYPIST #10: Teddy Morgan MISS FLANNERY: Barney Schreiber, C.P.A MILLIE: Jimmy, oh Jimmy, silly boy Gee, what a real swell guy MISS FLANNERY and TYPISTS (at the same time): Cut the cord, is that a man I once adored? He's nothing but an albatross No great loss, doublecrosser ALL: Forget about the boy MILLIE: Jimmy, oh Jimmy, what great joy He makes my troubles fly MISS FLANNERY and TYPISTS (at the same time): Pull the plug, ain't he the one who pulled the rug? He's lower than an alley cat, dirty rat And I flatter ALL: Forget about the boy Forget about the boy Forget about the boy! (The typists break into defiant tap, topped by MISS FLANNERY in a tap solo.) Shout hooray and halleluh! Now that 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 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 MISS FLANNERY and TYPISTS: For when he comes crawlin' MILLIE: I'm not fallin' ALL: Hallelujah! Forget about the boy Forget about the boy Forget about the boy!
