Bye Bye Blumberg

My name is Charlie Blumberg And I travel everywhere 'Cause I'm a traveling salesman, So I fly from here to there In every town I visit Folks must think I'm really swell 'Cause every time I leave a town, I get a fond farewell Every time I fly away, People cry, and they say, "Bye bye, Blumberg" It's a shame I have to go, Seeing as how they miss me so Bye bye, Blumberg Once I took a trip with Irving Cohen No one even noticed he was goin' Me they smashed across the head, With champagne, and they said, "Blumberg, bye bye" Packed my Playboy magazine, Drip-dry shirt and Dramamine It's bye bye, Blumberg All night I'm like Don Juan, But sorry, girls, I fly at dawn Bye bye, Blumberg The stewardess says, "Fasten safety belt, sir" Then she serves me coffee, tea, or seltzer And each night when I retire, the Mormon Tabernacle choir sings "Blumberg, bye bye" I was in Cambodia They don't say hello to you, Just "bye bye, Blumberg" In the archipelagoes, No matter where a fella goes, Bye bye, Blumberg Even in Arabia when I fly by, Abdul Nasser stands there waving bye bye And you'll see when I'm really gone, In neon lights at Forest Lawn, "Blumberg, bye bye" Beloved Blumberg, Oh Blumberg, Ah bye bye Look up in the sky! You will find a Blumberg of Happiness! --- Bye Bye Blumberg - Allan Sherman
