Someday my baby, when I am a man, |
|
and others have taught me |
|
the best that they can |
|
they'll sell me a suit |
|
they'll cut off my hair |
|
and send me to work in tall buildings |
|
So it's goodbye to the sunshine |
|
goodbye to the dew |
|
goodbye to the flowers |
|
and goodbye to you |
|
I'm off to the subway |
|
I must not be late |
|
I'm going to work in tall buildings |
|
When I'm retired |
|
My life is my own |
|
I made all the payments |
|
it's time to go home |
|
and wonder what happened |
|
betwixt and between |
|
when I went to work in tall buildings |
|
So it's goodbye to the sunshine |
|
goodbye to the dew |
|
goodbye to the flowers |
|
and goodbye to you |
|
I'm off to the subway |
|
I must not be late |
|
I'm going to work in tall buildings |
|
So it's goodbye to the sunshine |
|
goodbye to the dew |
|
goodbye to the flowers |
|
and goodbye to you |
|
I'm off to the subway |
|
I must not be late |
|
I'm going to work in tall buildings |
