Lyrics by MICHAEL STEWART - Original lyrics by MORT DIXON and JOE YOUNG<br>

Woman 1:<br>

I'm grabbin' my hat and coat.<br>

<br>

Man 1:<br>

I'm leavin' the cat a note.<br>

<br>

Man 1 and Woman 1:<br>

Quick, call me a ferry-boat.<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

Man 2:<br>

I'm shinin' my travelin' shoes.<br>

Big scoop in the Daily News.<br>

"Who's sayin' his toodle-oos?"<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

Girls:<br>

We're leavin' the boys in style.<br>

We're linin' 'em up in file,<br>

And givin' them each a smile,<br>

I'm leavin' the cat a note.<br>

Quick, call me a ferry-boat.<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

All:<br>

Cares fly by. They're sayin' bye, bye,<br>

And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"<br>

Wings spredin' 'cause we're headin' for <br>

Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha.<br>

<br>

My neighbors are awful nice.<br>

They promised to feed the mice.<br>

Hey, Iceman! Don't need your ice.<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

Cares fly by. They're sayin' bye, bye,<br>

And we're shoutin', "Hoorah!"<br>

Wings spredin' 'cause we're headin' for <br>

Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha.<br>

Hotcha, hotcha, hotcha.<br>

<br>

A new kind of company,<br>

It's just magnetizin' me.<br>

I'm footloose and fancy free.<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

Additional Verses<br>

Not on the OCR<br>

I'm wearin' my hat and coat.<br>

I'm leavin' the cat a note.<br>

Quick, call me a ferry-boat.<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>

My tickets are in my hand.<br>

Gosh, isn't the feelin' grand.<br>

Good gracious, they've sent a band!<br>

Gettin' out of town.<br>

<br>
