Thoroughly Modern Millie soundtrack – Forget About The Boy lyrics

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 ally 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
Sista your 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 Halleluh!
Now me and Mr. 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
