Goodbye is a song from Episode 041 of Spitting Image. It follows David Owen and David Steel as they end the SDP-Liberal Alliance and wish each other goodbye for the last time.

Lyrics

Steel:

Now is the time to say goodbye

Owen:

Goodbye, shortie

Steel:

Now is the time to yield the sign

Owen:

Thank god that’s over

Steel:

Now is the time to [?] away

Until we meet again

Some sunny day

Owen:

I think not, David

Steel:

Oh…

Both:

Goodbye, goodbye

I’m leaving you, [?]

Goodbye

I wish a final goodbye

Yada da da, yada da da

Steel:

Goodbye, goodbye…

Owen:

Goodbye, goodbye everybody

Thanks for voting for us but sorry

It’s all over

Yes, it’s goodbye

It’s all been enormous fun, hasn’t it, David?

Steel:

No, David

Owen:

My feelings entirely

Steel:

Goodbye…

Owen:

You know, there comes a time

In the life of every Alliance

Where it’s time to say goodbye -

And good riddance!

So goodbye,

Beardies with your dreadful conference resolutions and your CND badges

Goodbye, fat men from Rochdale

Goodbye, dog food salesmen

Take it away, David

Your old damn party

And take him away too

With his silly stripy shirts

And his one colour collars

Ugh! Goodbye!

Steel:

And goodbye to you, David

Mr. Oh So Good Looking

So manly and yet so Machiavellian

So calm and yet so treacherous

So sophisticated and yet so stupid

Goodbye, David

Owen:

Most of all, goodbye to you

Steel:

Yes! Goodbye, British public

Owen:

Yes, yes, you won’t being seeing a lot of us from now on

Sorry about raising any hopes

Steel:

Goodbye!

Owen:

But it’s been the election, the time has come

And so indeed it has,

The time has come to say goodbye

Both:

Goodbye, goodbye

Steel:

I wish you fun, goodbye, goodbye

Owen:

Farewell, doggy, I won’t miss you at all

Both:

Goodbye

Owen:

Ha, goodbye…

Wish a final goodbye

Steel:

Yada da da, yada da da

Owen:

Goodbye, goodbye!

Steel:

David-

Owen:

I’m off with Shirley!

Steel:

It doesn’t have to be goodbye together, does it, David?

Owen:

Goodbye, goodbye

Steel:

Don’t say goodbye to me, David!

Please don’t say goodbye

Please don’t say goodbye to me, David, not forever

You must come back

Owen:

Well, I’m sorry, David, but I have to say goodbye

I’d like to say hello but in fact I got to say goodbye

Steel:

Would you like to look under my kilt before you go?

Owen:

No, I’ve seen enough of that in the last few years

Steel:

Oh, David…

Owen:

I’d like to say goodbye to that as well…

Steel:

David, I’ve wet myself.
