Forget about the boy

(as sung by Sutton Foster et al in the recent Broadway production)

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 crawling
I’m not falling
Shout hooray and
Hallelu-
Now me and Mr 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,
Barney Schreiber CPA
Jimmy, oh Jimmy,
Cut the cord
Is that a man I once adored?
Silly boy,
He’s nothing but an albatross
No great loss
Gee, what a real swell guy.
Double crosser
Forget about the boy!

Jimmy, oh Jimmy,
Pull the plug
Ain’t he the one who pulled the rug?
Oh, what joy,
He makes my troubles fly.
He’s lower than an alley cat
Dirty rat
And I flatter to

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
