Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No canary in a cage for me
This canary's ready to fly free
[Verse 2]
Cut the cord
Is that a man I once adored?
He's nothing but an albatross
No great loss
Double crosser
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
[Verse 5]
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'
[Verse 6]
Shout, hurray and hallelujah
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
[Verse 7]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy

[Verse 9]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy, silly boy
Gee, what a real swell guy
[Verse 10]
Forget about the boy
[Verse 11]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy, oh what joy
He makes my troubles fly
[Verse 12]
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
[Verse 13]
Shout, hurray 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 the boy
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
For when he comes crawlin'
I'm not fallin'
Hallelujah
[Verse 16]
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
