Ruthie:
You don?t have to shout. 
From now on I?m out of the kitchen!
What?s more, I can?t stand your cigarette brand
and I?m switch-in?!
I?m unhappy with things the way they?ve occurred.

It is time to face facts and not mince a word.
Certain parties named Bogen are getting the bird.
Au devoir, fare thee well, and goodbye!
And i?ll tell you why. 

A funny thing happened on my way to love
I lost the young fella I?d been dreaming of.
He changed while I waited and hoped for his call.
To someone who?s no fun at all.
So I?ll start forgetting. 

What else can I do?
And much thanks for letting me practice on you.
It?s farewell, my lovely, excuse, please my dust.
Unravel and travel I must.

No tears, no hurt surprise.
It?s with a pleasant glow I realize
If I had that much love, so deep, true and strong,
All ready to hand you, dear Mister Wrong.

Just think of the treasures, the joy and delight
I?ll give to my own Mister Right!
My own Mister Right!

Harry:
So hastalavista, ta ta, toodleoo
The world will keep turning,

Ruthie:
But not around you. 
There?s someone else waiting
Who?s more than a friend.

Harry:
Bust wishes and dishes I?ll send

Both:
So long, I?m on my way.
Thanks for the buggy ride and may I say.
If I had that much love

Ruth:
All ready to hand you, my dear Mister Wrong,
Just think of the treasure, the joy and delight.
I?ll give as long as I live, day and night
To my own Mister Right!

Harry:
So deep true and strong,
How come it?s so easy to tell me ?so long??
And hurry to Murray, How quick can you fall?
Oh no! It couldn?t be so.
What a stall, you never loved me at all!
