BYE, BYE KATIE, KATIE GOODBYE.
BYE, BYE KATIE, DON'T MAKE US CRY.

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I FIRST SAW YOU,
GIRL, I REALIZED THAT I ADORED YOU.
GEE, YOU DID IT FOR ME --

WHY, OH, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE, OH --
YOU'RE THE ONE GIRL IN TOWN WE TIVO!
YOU WON'T BE ON NBC
OH, WHY??

BYE, BYE KATIE, KATIE GOODBYE.
BYE, BYE KATIE, DON'T MAKE US CRY.

KATIE, COULDN'T WE STAY TOGETHER?
COULD WE MAKE IT TODAY FOREVER?
GEE, EACH MORNING YOU'D BE WITH ME...

GO AHEAD, MAKE THE MOVE YOU'RE MAKING --
BUT IN HERE, GIRL, MY HEART IS BREAKING!
WE JUST SING TO HIDE THE STING
OH, AH!

BYE, BYE KATIE, KATIE GOODBYE.
BYE, BYE KATIE, DON'T MAKE US CRY.

BYE, KATIE, BYE!
WHY MAKE US CRY?
BYE, KATIE, KATIE, BYE BYE!  AH!
