I'm Checkin' Out Goombye

I'm Checkin' Out Goombye - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

Lyrics by：Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn

Composed by：Billy Strayhorn/Duke Ellington

Hello hello

Is this harlem seven-seven-seven-eleven

John is this you

I thought I'd phone you

I hope you ain't sick

'Cause I'm checkin' out goombye

Nice to have known you

You were my big kick

But I'm checkin' out goombye

You tried an old trick

You found a new chick

But I was too slick

I'm in the know you've got to go

The cake is all dough

It's too bad our bliss

Had to miss out like this

I'm checkin' out goombye

You tried an old trick

You found a new chick

But I was too slick

I'm in the know you've got to go

The cake is all dough

It's too bad our bliss

Had to miss out like this

I'm cuttin' out old man I don't dig you
