I made a Hat from paper C-G
I glued some glitter on it C-G
I glued some curly noodles C-G
With tape to make them stay C-G
But I let David wear it C-G
He left it on the chair C-G
Where Marsha sat down on it C-G
Now it doesn’t look the same. C-G-C
Goodbye Hat, it’s time to go F-C-F-C
It’s sad to say Goodbye I know Dm-G
Goodbye Hat, I love you F-C-F-C
But now I’ve got some other things to do Dm-G-C
My Mom, she gets me dressed
She gets me stuff to eat
She takes me to the place
Where I stay all day
She has to go to work
I know she’s sad to leave me
Because we love each other
And she’d rather stay and play
Goodbye Mom, it’s time to go
It’s sad to say Goodbye I know
Goodby Mom, I love you
But now I’ve got some other things to do
When something new begins
There’s a middle, and an end
It’s sad when it ends
But that’s the way things are
With hats or with Moms
With ice cream or with friends
So I don’t say Goodbye
I say “Au Revoir”
Au Revoir, it’s time to go
It’s sad to say Goodbye I know
Au Revoir Mom, I love you
But now we’ve got some other things to do
Wave Goodbye Mom, I love you
Cause now I’ve got some other things to do.
