Forget About The Boy (from "Thoroughly Modern Millie" soundtrack)

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 crawling
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!

[Group Tap session]

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!

[Others]
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
[All]
Blues a kiss goodbye
And put the sun back in the sky

For when he comes crawling

[Millie]
I'm not falling

[All:] Hallelujah!

Forget about the boy, forget about the boy,

Forget about
The
Boy!
