about

A straight-up home demo recorded in 1966. Probably my best work on the screech-box Woolworth organ.

lyrics

Happy Goodbye Baby (lyrics by Paul Levinson, 1966)

(chorus)
Happy goodbye baby
I'm leaving you today
Happy goodbye baby
and here's a gift to celebrate
this special holiday

Here's a freshly picked bouquet
of artificial flowers
I hope that they will repay
the superficial hours
that we spent together

(chorus)

Here's a parrot that can sing
from the Five And Ten Cent store
It may have a hollow ring
But its words will mean much more
than the lines that you gave me

(chorus)
