"Bye-Bye" lyrics

"Bye-Bye"

Bye bye singer in the Illinois roadway
Pierstown levy and the ice cream show
Bye bye nights at the St Louis brewery
Old street car and ya gotta go, bye bye

Bye bye nights in the Mississippi church tower
Laying out beds by the old fence post
Bye bye days of living in the country
See which one you like the most, bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go

Hop-along bank of the Ohio river
Wish that time would never end
Someone said its such bad luck
To watch a boat go round the bend, bye bye

Well, the past goes past in sepia vapour
Way long ago in the misty must
Old postcards in the 1890s
Pick Bo Peep and save her blust [?] bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go

Well, I got no house no place to go
Soon be here as Minnesota goin' bye bye
Mama your daughter ain't never been the same
Since she found out looks mean more than brains and said bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go

Bye bye mother and bye bye daughter
Take care God bless and you can't go wrong
Bye bye sons on field of honour
Hands-a-clappin' hard to go away so long [?] bye bye

After bye bye what else is there, oh bye bye so long farewell
Bon voyage on the canyon trip, adios get lost or go to hell, bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go

Well, I'm here to make extreme calculations (Or well I'm here to mix drinks and calculations)
Only the facts and vibrations going bye bye
Well, I wanna be consistent, that's where it's at
Make sure my socks don't never match going bye bye!

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, guess ya gotta go
