Goodbye Baltimore (The Flute Song)
[Verse 1]
This town really sucks, like you wouldn’t believe, I’m sick and
Tired of the same old things, can we just pack up and leave?
I hate my band, and I hate the scene, I never
Liked guitar, I’m not a rockstar, but I know how I’ll feel free
[Chorus]
So, I’ll just say goodbye to the blue sky, let’s run away together
Don’t you worry, I’ll play the flute for money
[Recorder Solo]
[Verse 2]
What’d you expect? It’s only been a day, I don’t know
Philly like I did Baltimore, just give it time and wait
I’ve made some good tips, that guy gave me five bucks, he may
Have thought we were homeless, but still, that’s pretty good luck
[Chorus]
So, I’ll just say goodbye to the blue sky, let’s run away together
Don’t you worry, I’ll play the flute for money
[Recorder Solo]
[Verse 3]
It’s been three months, and we’re still on the streets
The flute may have been a bad idea, I’d prefer just to eat
I’m really hungry, and I’ve seen better days
I think I need some medicine for the lesions on my face
[Chorus]
So, I’ll just say goodbye to the blue sky, let’s run away together
Don’t you worry, I’ll play the flute for money
[Recorder Solo]
[Verse 4]
So much for flute, wasn’t as good as I thought
It’d be wise to leave Philadelphia, and go home before I rot
But I think I’ll stay, and I’m not sure why
Let’s stay on track, too late to go back, keep fluting 'til I die
[Chorus]
So, I’ll just say goodbye to the blue sky, let’s run away together
Don’t you worry, I’ll play the flute for money
[Recorder Solo]
[Outro]
And uh, that's the end!
BLEH!
