Good-Bye-ee (from "Oh! It's A Lovely War")

Good-Bye-ee - Courtland/Jefferies/George Grossmith

Brother Bertie went away

To do his bit the other day

With a smile on his lips

And his Lieutenant's pips

Upon his shoulder bright and gay

As the train moved out he said

Remember me to all the birds

Then he wagged his paw

And went away to war

Shouting out these pathetic words

Goodbye ee goodbye ee

Wipe the tear baby dear from your eye ee

Tho' it's hard to part I know

I'll be tickled to death to go

Don't cry ee don't sigh ee

There's a silver lining in the sky ee

Bonsoir old thing cheer i o chin chin

Nah poo toodle oo goodbye ee

At the hospital at Kew

The convalescents dressed in blue

Had to hear lady Lee who had turned eighty three

Sing all the old old songs she knew

Then she made a speech and said

I look on you boys with pride

And to thank you all I'm going to kiss each one

Then they all grabbed a stick and cried

Goodbye ee goodbye ee

Wipe the tear baby dear from your eye ee

Tho' it's hard to part I know

I'll be tickled to death to go

Don't cry ee don't sigh ee

There's a silver lining in the sky ee

Bonsoir old thing cheer i o chin chin

Nah poo toodle oo goodbye ee

Goodbye ee goodbye ee

Wipe the tear baby dear from your eye ee

Tho' it's hard to part I know

I'll be tickled to death to go

Don't cry ee don't sigh ee

There's a silver lining in the sky ee

Bonsoir old thing cheer i o chin chin

Nah poo toodle oo goodbye ee
