MILLIE:
NO CANARY IN A CAGE FOR ME.
THIS CANARY IS READY TO FLY FREE!
CUT THE CORD.
IS THAT A MAN I ONCE ADORED?
HE’S NOTHING BUT AN ALBATROSS,
NO GREAT LOST, 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 GOOD-BYE,
AND PUT THE SUN BACK IN THE SKY,
FOR WHEN HE COMES CRAWLIN’,
I’M NOT FALLING.
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.
