[Verse 1]
Suitcase, suitcase, follow me 'round
Bootlace, bootlace, tie me down
Money for fun, yeah, golden crowns
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long

[Verse 2]
Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Butcher, butcher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long

[Chorus]
Well, I'm sorry to be leavin'
That's all I get to say
Sorry to be leavin' today

[Chorus]
Well, I'm sorry to be leavin'
That's all I get to say
Sorry to be leavin' today

[Verse 2]
Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Butcher, butcher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long (So long)

[Outro]
So long (So long)
So long (So long)
So long (So long)
Ooh long (So long)
Yeah, long (So long)
Oh, long (So long)
Yeah, long (So long)
Ooh, long (So long)
Yeah, long (So long)
Oh, long (So long)
Yeah, long (So long)
Yes (So long)
Ooh (So long)
(So long)
(So long)

Badfinger

On the name, Apple’s Neil Aspinall said:

Badfinger just popped in my head. It was from an old Lennon thing. He was playing the piano and he had a bad finger so he called the piece he was playing ‘Bad Finger Boogie’ (which evolved into ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’).
