Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye
We'll remember you forever EddieThrough the sacrifice you made we can't believe the price you paidFor loveLittle Eddie Mitty born in Jersey CityStarted singin' when he was fiveNever knew his father mother didn't botherTo catch his last name fast as he cameHe was off and flyingTimes were really tryingEddie and his mother aloneSoon another mister soon a baby sisterMama kept swingin' and Eddie kept singin'Ah ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya for love for loveAnd now the tragic storyEddie's sister, Mary Louise, needed an operationSongtexteTo get the money he would have to become an overnight sensationEddie believed the American peopleHad wonderful, lovegiving heartsHis well publicized end he considered would sendHis memorial album to the top of the charts...and it didAh ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaYa ya ya ya for love for loveWhen a young singer dies to our shock and surpriseIn a plane crash or flashy sports carHe becomes quite well knownAnd the kindness he's shown has made more than one post mortem starWell you did it Eddie and though it's hard to applaud suicideYou gave all you could give so your sister could liveAll America's choked up insideWe'll remember you forever EddieThru' the sacrifice you made we can't believe the price you paidFor love
