[Millie]
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 great loss
Double-crosser
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
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
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'
Shout hooray and hallelu
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
Jimmy, oh Jimmy, Jimmy

Jimmy, oh Jimmy, silly boy
Gee, what a real swell guy
[Miss Flannery, Typists]
Cut the cord, is that a man I once adored?
He's nothing but an albatross
No great loss, doublecrosser

Forget about the boy

Jimmy, oh Jimmy, what great joy
He makes my troubles fly

Hallelujah
Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
