Goodbye Eddie Goodbye

Goodbye Eddie Goodbye Paul Williams Performed by Juicy Fruits (Phantom of the Paradise) We’ll remember you forever Eddie Thru’ the sacrifice you made we can’t believe the price you paid For love Little Eddie Mitty born in Jersey City Started singin’ when he was five Never knew his father mother didn’t bother To catch his last name fast as he came He was off and flying Times were really trying Eddie and his mother alone Soon another mister soon a baby sister Mama kept swingin’ and Eddie kept singin’ 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 love for love And now the tragic story Eddie’s sister Mary Louise needed an operation To get the money he would have to become an overnight sensation Eddie believed the American people Had wonderful lovegiving hearts His well publicized end he considered would send His memorial album to the top of the charts... and it did Chorus : ends with and When a young singer dies to our shock and surprise In a plane crash or flashy sports car He becomes quite well known And the kindness he’s shown has made more than one post mortem star Well you did it Eddie and though it’s hard to applaud suicide You gave all you could give so your sister could live All America’s choked up inside We’ll remember you forever Eddie Thru’ the sacrifice you made we can’t believe the price you paid For love
