The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When you said goodbye,

did I sit an' cry?

Wanna go an' die?

Oh! No Siree!

Made another wish

get another fish!

Lot's of pretty fish

are in the sea!

You think that you're my one and only

Pardon my English,

I ain't lonely!

Ain't about to brood

in a happy mood!

Even sat and booed

your photographs!

Ain't a total wreck

you can double check!

Stickin' out your neck

is for giraffes!

So, if some night you want me baby

I'll meet you face to face,

you can name the place!

I'll be in the pink

I'll buy the drink!

After one or two

I'll tell you why we're through!

Absolutely through

I think!

You think that you're my one an' only

Pardon my English,

I ain't lonely!

Ain't about to brood

dream a happy mood!

Even sat and booed

your photographs!

Ain't a total wreck

you can double check!

Stickin' out your neck

is for giraffes!

So, if some night you want me baby

Meet you face to face,

you can name the place!

I'll be in the pink

I'll buy the drink!

After one or two

I'll tell you that I'm through!

Absolutely through

I think!
