Farewell To A Sex Symbol

Farewell To A Sex Symbol

l've a message for the world
And my ever-loyal fans
For I don't know what
Stories you've read
I'm killing off Baby Doll
l've more exciting plans
Baby Doll's gonna quit
While she's ahead
This is her final goodbye
To all the glam and glitz
This is about her checking out
I'm taking off the Ritz
Come and watch her die
l've had it up to here
Don't miss the last goodbye
The exit of the year
I've spent the last decade
Pretending that I'm under thirty
And regularly laid
When I hate even talking dirty-oh yes...
How much I long to be unrecognised
And lead a quiet suburban life
And be a half-forgotten dream
And a wife...
Nobody knew it could be hell
When I was filmed with guys in bed
What they were thinking, you could tell
I used to think about the bread
And it's time for a rest
To go out on a high
I've given my best
So this is goodbye
You can keep the whole shebang
The parasitic gang
The nuts galore
Around my door
I ain't gonna slide downhill
l'm leaving while l'm still divine
No-one's gonna have the thrill
Seeing a sad decline
High on the peaks of fame
I feel the winds of change
I feel the winds of change
Nothing evre stays the same
When the only way is down
When nothing excites, let lesser lights
Scramble for the crown
Come and watch her die
I've had it up to here
Don't miss the last goodbye
The exit of the year
I've given all l've got
l've glittered for the glitterati
But now l'd trash the lot
So welcome to my farewell party - a legend's party....
Observed in close-up by a billion eyes
I say my final intimate goodbyes
As I descend the golden stairs, I'll cry:
"Let me go, let me leave you all!
Let her die! Let the curtain fall!"
The cameras roll -
I pause a moment, for effect
With the timing you'd expect
"Let me go, let me leave you all!
Let her die! Let the curtain fall!"
The cameras roll -
And then a final heartfelt tear
As I begin to disapear
"I love you" from the fading queen
The perfect ending to the scene
And the waiting limousine
Driver, take me to oblivion!
