Bette Midler
So Long Dearie
[DOLLY]
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!
Don't try to stop me Horace, please!

Wave your little hand and whisper
"So long dearie"
You ain't gonna see me anymore
But when you discover that your life is dreary
Don't you come a knockin' at my door

For I'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, I told you so!

So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie should have said so long
So long ago

Ah, you've treated me so rotten and rough
I've had enough of feelin' low
So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie should have said so long
So long ago!
For I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on
To a fancy new address
Yes, I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on
On board that happiness express

I'm gonna learn the hoochie koo and smoke a cigarette
I'm gonna go as far away from Yonkers as a girl can get!

So...

(spoken)
And on those cold winter nights, Horace

Snuggle up to that cash register!

It's a bit lumpy but it rings!

(sung)
Don't come a knockin'
I'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, I told you so

So Horace, you will find your life a sad old story
When you see your Dolly shuffle off to glory
Oh I should have said so long...
So long ago!
