Goodbye Hooray Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Junior pimp's at old café
He's got to chase those girls around
Westbound, drunk with lots to say
But he never makes a sound
Hustlers get what they deserve
But it's always half the gate
Good things come to those who wait
Like an expiration date
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
I'll lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray
[Verse 2]
Curb your tongue, oh scallywag
Because you've got no flag to wave
Save your breath for the black and white
Every dog will have his day
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
I'll lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray

See you around, I'll see you around

[Post-Chorus]
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight

[Outro]
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around
Goodbye and hooray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
Oh nah, nah, nah, no
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight

Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around
Goodbye and hooray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
Oh nah, nah, nah, no
