[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

[Millie]
Jimmy, oh Jimmy, what great joy
He makes my troubles fly

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy

(The typists break into defiant tap, topped by Miss Flannery in a tap solo.)

Shout hooray and hallelu!

Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
