So Long Dearie Lyrics

So Long Dearie lyrics

Dolly

 [Spoken]

 Well, Horace, it looks as if there's nothing more for me to say, but--

 [Sung]

 Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye.

 Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye.

 Don't try to stop me Horace please...

 Wave your little hand and whisper

 So long dearie

 You ain't gonna see me anymore

 But when you discover that your life is dreary

 Don't you come a knockin' at my door

 For I'll be all dolled up

 And singin' that song

 That says you dog, I told you so

 So wave your little hand and whisper

 So long dearie

 Dearie, should have said so long

 So long ago

 

 Because you've treated me so rotten and rough

 I've had enough of feelin' low

 So wave your little hand and whisper

 So long dearie

 Dearie would have said so long

 So long ago

 

 For I can hear that choo choo callin' me on

 To a fancy new address

 Yes, I can hear that choo choo callin' me on

 On board that happiness express

 I'm gonna learn to dance and drink and smoke a cigarette

 I'm go'n as far away from Yonkers as a girl can get

 

 [Spoken]

 And on those cold winter nights, Horace...

 You can snuggle up to your cash register.

 It's a bit lumpy but it rings!

 

 [Sung]

 Don't come a knockin'

 I'll be all dolled up

 And singin' that song

 That says you dog, I told you so

 So Horace, you will find your life a sad old story

 When you see your Dolly shuffle off to glory

 Oh I should have said so long...

 So Long ago!
