Veronica Swift - Forget About the Boy

No canary in a cage for me. This canary's ready to fly free.
Cut the cord. Ain't that the 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 man who pulled the rug?
He's nothing but 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, you're not fallin', shout hooray and hallelu!
Now me and Mr. Wrong are through.
I'll find myself another beaux who I know is no rover.
Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy

No canary in a cage for me. This canary's ready to fly free.
No canary in a cage for me. This canary's ready to fly free.
No canary in a cage for me. This canary, she's ready to fly free.
Now say it ain't so. Ain't he the man who let me go?
And even though the times are tough, he's a rough good for nothin.
Forget about him
I've had enough. Ain't he the man who cut me off?
And though we had a lovely time, he's not mine, and that's fine now.
Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy

And in the mornin don't you think about him, honey baby.
You're much better off without him.
You can put a smile back on your face for the entire human race
For when he comes cryin, you're not buyin, shout hooray and hallelu!
Now me and Mr. Wrong are through.
I'll find myself another beaux who I know is no rover.
Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy, Forget about the boy
Be free. Be free!
