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 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 hallelu! 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 & TYPISTS] 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 & TYPISTS] 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 hallelu! 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 [MILLIE & TYPISTS] Forget about the boy (Forget about the boy) And in the moonlight don't you think about him [TYPISTS] Sister, you're much better off without him [MILLIE] You can blow the- [ALL] -blues a kiss goodbye And put the sun back in the sky [MISS FLANNERY & 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!
