Tekst van “Bye Bye Birdie”

Refrein

Bye, bye, birdie
Bye, bye, birdie
We hate to see you go oh, dear
Bye, bye, birdie
Don’t you plan on coming back next year?

Couplet 1

At our high school
They won the pool
That’s where they had their show
And when they played
In our parade
He smiled straight at me

Couplet 2

My heart’s a flutter
I’ll never forget
The day he went away
Just me and my sister
We’ll miss him forever
I’m sad today

Couplet 3

Our little town is never gonna be the same
Since you went away
I wish that you could stay
It’s so unfair
I can’t bear the thought of losing you

Outro
