[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
Hello? Hello?
Is this Harlem seven-seven-seven-eleven?
John? Is this you?

[Verse 1]
I thought I'd phone you
I hope you ain't sick
'Cause I'm checkin' out, goombye
Nice to have known you
You were my big kick
But I'm checkin' out, goombye

[Bridge]
You tried an old trick
You found a new chick
But I was too slick
I'm in the know, you've got to go
The cake is all dough

[Verse 2]
It's too bad our bliss
Had to miss out like this
I'm checkin' out, goombye
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You tried an old trick
You found a new chick
But I was too slick
I'm in the know, you've got to go
The cake is all dough

[Outro]
It's too bad our bliss
Had to miss out like this
I'm cuttin' out, old man, I don't dig you
