You're Moving Out Today
(Bette Midler, Carole Bayer Sager, Bruce Roberts)


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
Your loony friend just made a pass at me
Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea

So pack your toys away
Your pretty boys away
Your forty-fives away
Your alibis away
Your silly lies away
Your old tie-dyes away
Your one more tries away
You're moving out today

I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

You nasty habits ain't confined to bed
The grocer told me what you do with bread
Why don't you take up with the
Baker's wife instead of me

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 glows away
You're moving out today

I hate to do it
You gotta
I hate to do it
You gotta
I hate to do it
You gotta
I hate to do it
You gotta
I hate to do it
You gotta

I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Pack up you 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
But leave my Lorna Doones
Your map of Mozambique
Your waterbed that leaks

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

The reason I'm singing la la 
Is because I'm so happy you're going
Gosh, you've made me miserable
I don't think I've ever been so unhappy 
As I've been this last year with you
You are really a dirty, dirty guy 
Did anybody ever tell you that
Oh, uh, by the way, would you, uh 
Take off that coat you're wearing
That's my coat you're wearing 
Ah, yes, thank you
Oh, goodbye
Parting is such sweet sorrow
