You' re Moving out Today

Carole Bayer Sager


You're moving out today

I stayed out late one night and you moved in 
I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in 
May I remind you that it's been a year since then 

Today the landlady, she said to me (what did she say?)
You're looney friend just made a pass at me (slap him in the face)
Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea 

So pack your toys away
Your pretty boys away 
Your 45s away
Your alibis away
Your Spanish flies away 
Your one-more-tries away
Your old tie-dyes away 
You're moving out today 

Your nasty habits ain't confined to bed (Ha Ha Ha Ha)
The grocer told me what you do with bread (what do you do?)
Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead of me, fool!

Pack up your rubber duck 
I'd like to wish you luck 
Your funny cigarettes 
Your sixty-one cassettes 
Pack all your clothes away 
Your rubber hose away 
Your old-day-glos away 
You're moving out today 

Pack up your dirty looks
Your songs that have no hooks 
Your stacks of Modern Screen 
Your portrait of the Queen

Your mangy cat away 
Your baby fat away 
You're headed that-a-way 
You're moving out today 

Pack up your fork and spoon 
Please leave my Lorna Doones 
Your map of Mozambique 
Your water bed that leaks
