Lyrics

1. Tosti is a singer, a real Grand op’ra singer
   And Tosti is a tempermental thing
   His wifie cannot hold him
   And when she tries to scold him
   He rushes to the door and starts to sing
   Goodbye forever, Goodbye forever
   Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, “But”

Chorus
Nobody knows where Tosti goes
When Tosti says Goodbye
Ev’ry day we hear him cry
Goodbye forever, Goodbye
He leaves his flat with a high silk hat
And a twinkle in his eye
He’s chuck full of pepper
When he leaves the house
He goes out like a wildcat
And comes back like a mouse
But nobody knows where Tosti goes
When Tosti says Goodbye

2. Tosti is a tenor, a high C hittin’ tenor
   His wifie hits him for a ten each day
   And when she gets this notion
   He’d start a big commotion
   This always seems to be his getaway
   Goodbye forever, Goodbye forever
   Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, “But”

Chorus
Nobody knows where Tosti goes
When Tosti says Goodbye
Ev’ry day we hear him cry
Goodbye forever, Goodbye
He leaves his flat with a high silk hat
And a twinkle in his eye
He calls on the wife of a Doctor they say
Takes an apple along
To keep the Doctor away
But nobody knows where Tosti goes
When Tosti says Goodbye
