Good-Bye Everybody 1911

Beware the spell of the springtime
though it seems sweet as Life to youoo,
For all the dreams that you're dreaming,
May lose their charm
when they come trueoo;
It's always best to remember
through all your rapture so divine
that once you are wed,
from then you are dead
is a long long time.
Unless you're wary in the spring
this farewell song you will sing.

Goodbye everybody
Goodbye everything
Farewell golden Summer,
farewell lovely Spring
breaks my heart to think that I'm going,
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Here's a kiss to make you remember the days gone by.
Goodbye dear old fellows,
farewell, ladies gay.
Goodbye everybody
I get married today.

[Dance:]

The girls you loved in the summer
loved in the winter,
loved in the springtime,
Must all be gone and forgotten,
Ever and ever when it's ringtime,
can you forget all the others?
Give up a hundred loves for one?
Oh, who can be sure,
one love will endure,
while the world goes on
It's wiser far to hesitate
that find you're sorry too late.

Goodbye everybody
Goodbye everything
Farewell golden Summer,
farewell lovely Spring
breaks my heart to think that I'm going,
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Here's a kiss to make you remember the days gone by.
Goodbye dear old fellows,
farewell, ladies gay.
Goodbye everybody
I get married today.

[Dance:]
