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 weight loss
Double crosser
Forget about the boy
Pull the plug
Ain't he the one that 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 ya think about him
Sista you're much better off with out 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 falling
Shout hooray and ha-le-lugh
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

Cut the cord
Is that a man I once adored?
He's nothing but an albatross
No weight loss
Double crosser
(Meanwhile...)
[Millie]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy
Silly boy
He would a real small boy
[Others]
Forget about the boy!
[Millie]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy
Oh, bonjour!
He makes me (jumbled)
(Meanwhile...)
[Others]
Pull the plug
Ain't he the one that pulled the rug?
He's lower than an alley cat
Dirty rat
And I flatter?
[All:] Forget about the boy, forget about the boy, forget about the boy!

Shout hooray and ha-le-lugh
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
[Millie]
Forget about the boy!

Forget about the boy
[Millie]
And in the moonlight, (Ahh!) don't ya think about him (Ahhh!)
[All]
Sister, you're much better off with out him
[Millie]
You can blow the

Blues a kiss goodbye
And put the sun back in the sky
For when he comes crawlin'
[Millie]
I'm not fallin'
[All:] Hallelujah!
Forget about the boy, forget about the boy,
Forget about
The
Boy!
