Duke Ellington — I’m Checkin’ Out Goombye

[Instrumental] [Interlude] Hello? Hello? Is this Harlem seven-seven-seven-eleven? John? Is this you? [Verse 1] I thought I'd phone you I hope you ain't sick 'Cause I'm checkin' out, goombye Nice to have known you You were my big kick But I'm checkin' out, goombye [Bridge] You tried an old trick You found a new chick But I was too slick I'm in the know, you've got to go The cake is all dough [Verse 2] It's too bad our bliss Had to miss out like this I'm checkin' out, goombye [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] You tried an old trick You found a new chick But I was too slick I'm in the know, you've got to go The cake is all dough [Outro] It's too bad our bliss Had to miss out like this I'm cuttin' out, old man, I don't dig you
