Bye-Bye Birdy

Gotta get to Phoenix No I gotta go to bed If you try to talk to me again I'll just pretend I'm dead Babe you made me mad tonight Now I'm leaving at first light So see ya later Nothing wordy No sad love note Bye-bye birdy Twisted hanky in my lap Marker red trailing a map Finger pointing where to find it And my footsteps just behind it What's chafing you is burning me Now I'm about to set you free So see ya later Nothing wordy No sad love note Bye-bye birdy Gotta get to Phoenix Baton Rouge or Montreal Drop a postcard to the folks They'll worry after all Years of you and none of me Finally took its toll you see So see ya never Nothing wordy Just a love note Bye-bye birdy
