Good-bye guitar, good-bye guitar
Good-bye guitar, we're sad to see you go
But you'll be back again someday
Again someday, again someday
You'll be back again someday
With many more songs to play

Good-bye piano
Good-bye bass
Good-bye drums
We're sad to see you go
But you'll be back again someday
Again someday, again someday
You'll be back again someday
With many more songs to play

Good-bye trumpet
Good-bye saxophone
Good-bye violin
Good-bye tuba
Good-bye xylophone
Good-bye accordion
Good-bye tambourine
Good-bye everyone
We're sad to see you go
But you'll be back again someday
Again someday, again someday
You'll be back again someday
With many more songs to play

Many more songs to play
Many more songs to play
You'll be back again someday
With many more songs to play
