Say goodbye
Gilbert O'Sullivan · Other Songs - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Say good evening and good noon
Say hello tell me how you're feeling
Very well thanks and how are you
Say you did say you didn't
Say it's someone else instead
Say it's me would I be forgiven
Or is it something that I said
In spite of fears over what charges are proposed
In spite of tears over what secrets are disclosed
In spite of ears I have never heard you once complain
Sayonara konbanwa
Ohayo-gozaimasu kon-nichiwa
Kon-nichiwa gokigen-ikaga-desuka
Genki-desu arigato anatawa-ikaga-desuka
In spite of fears over inflation going up
In spite of tears over the breaking of a cup
In spite of years seems like it was only days ago
Say it is say it isn't
Say it's someone else instead
Say it's good when you don't like fishing
You just knock it on the heed
You just knock it on the heed
Say goodbye say good morning
Say good evening and good noon
Say hello tell me how you're feeling
Very well thanks and how are you
In spite of fears over a lack of crowd control
In spite tears over a bag that someone stole
In spite of years I have never seen you look so well
Sayonara konbanwa
Ohayo-gozaimasu kon-nichiwa
Kon-nichiwa gokigen-ikaga-desuka
Genki-desu arigato anatawa-ikaga-desuka
