Lyrics
I'm sorry, you missed the silent Q
My friend, you will be missed
But now go with dignity
This ends but first on our list
You can go with pride
You've been the best looking dude we've had all day
You're a real smart dude as well
Now go home and spell
Give a squeeze of affection
Come on, make a connection
Spell with patience and care
That, dude, is my prayer
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
Oh, all you need is strength to pretend it's no big deal
Try to look like you don't care
Try not to cry, Lord, in front of a brother
Don't embarrass your mother
Not your mother!
Make your exit with care
That is my prayer
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, whomever
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Good, bye, good, bye
Good, bye, good
Good-
-bye
Whomever!
Goodbye!
