Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye
Paul Williams
Performed by Juicy Fruits (Phantom of the Paradise)
FWe'll remember you Amforever Eddie
FThru' the sacrifice you made wG#e can't believe the price you paid
FFor love
FLittle Eddie Mitty born in Jersey City
AmStarted singin' when he was five
FNever knew his father mother didn't bother
GTo catch his last name fast as he came
FHe was off and flying, Times were really trying
AmEddie and his mother alone
FSoon another mister soon a baby sister
GMama kept swingin' and Eddie kept singin'
Chorus : F Am F G
Ah ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya for lFove for love
FAnd now the tragic story
FEddie's sister, Mary Louise, Amneeded an operation
FTo get the money he would have to become an Governight sensation
FEddie believed the American people
AmHad wonderful, lovegiving hearts
FHis well publicized end he considered would send
GHis memorial album to the top of the charts... and it Fdid
Chorus : F Am F G, ends with G# and F
FWhen a young singer dies to Amour shock and surprise
FIn a plane crash or flashy Gsports car
FHe becomes quite well known
AmAnd the kindness he's shown Fhas made more than one Gpost mortem star
FWell you did itAm Eddie and though itF's hard to applaud suGicide
FYou gave all you could gAmive so your sisFter could live
GAll America's choked up inside
FWe'll remember you forever AmEddie
FThru' the sacrifice you made we can't believG#e the price you paid
FFor love
