Peter Gunn

Every night your line is busy
All that buzzin' makes me dizzy
Couldn't count on all my fingers
All the dates you had with swingers
Bye, bye, bye, baby
I'm gonna kiss you goodbye and go right through that doorway
So long, I'm leaving
This is the last time we'll meet on the street going your way
Don't look surprised, you know you've buttered your bread
So now it's fair, you should stare at the back of my head
If you write a letter to me
My former friend, don't you end with an r.s.v.p.
I'm going bye, bye, I'm moving
Tomorrow I may be splittin' to britain or norway
I'm saying bye, bye, bye baby
Now that I heard all that jazzing whereas I have had it, I've had it
I'm through now with you now
So baby it's au revouir
Adios, ciao, ciao, goodbye
