Hey, hey
She's gone away
Goodbye and good riddance to her, hooray, hooray, hooray
And I'm sitting in the office
Goofin' on the job, just
Throwing little darts at her photograph
Hanging on the wall
Hey, what the hell is this?
I always miss

I best put the picture away before I blow my tree
'Cause I'm sitting in the office
Goofin' on the job, just
Shouting dirty words at her photograph
What? It isn't there
It never was
There is no photograph
It's just a window
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
