Bette Midler Intermission: You`re Moving Out Today Lyrics

Intermission: You`re Moving Out Today Lyrics

I stayed out late one night and you moved in.

I didn't mind 'cause of the
state you were in.

May I remind you that it's been a year since then?



Today the landlady, she said to me,

"Your lonely friend just made
a pass at me."

Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea.



So pack your toys away,

your pretty boys away,

your forty-fives
away,

your alibis away,

your silly lies away,

your old
tie-dyes away,

your one more tries away.

You're moving out
today.



Your nasty habits aren't confined to bed.

The grocer
told me what you do with bread.

Why don't you take up with the

baker's wife instead of me?



Pack up your rubber duck.

I'd
like to wish you luck.

Your funny cigarettes, 

your sixty-one
cassettes,

pack all your clothes away,

your rubber hose away,

your old day glows away.

You're movin' out today.



"I hate
to do it"

"You gotta"

"I hate to do it"

"You gotta"

"Hate to do it"

"You gotta"

"Hate to do it"

"You gotta"

"You gotta"

"You gotta"



Pack up you dirty looks,

your
songs that have no hooks,

your stacks of Modern Screen,

your
portrait of the queen,

your mangy cat away,

your baby fat away.

You're headed that a-way.

You're moving out today.



[additional lyrics from the single]

Pack up your fork and spoon,

but leave my Lorna Doones;

Your map of Mozambique;

Your water bed
that leaks.



la la la la la la la la la.

la la la la la la la
la . . .



"The reason I'm singing la la is because I'm so happy
you're going. 

Gosh, you've made me miserable. 

I don't think I've
ever been so unhappy as I've been this last year with you. 

You are
really a dirty, dirty guy. Did anyone ever tell you that? 

Oh, uh, by the
way, would you, uh, take off that coat you're wearing? 

That's my coat
you're wearing. Ah, yes. Thank you, oh. Goodbye! 

Parting is such sweet
sorrow . . ."
