Ayy, I'm a big boy now
I'm ready to leave, ciao, mamma, ciao
Ayy, I'm a big boy now
I'm going away and I sold my cow
Before I leave, I must confess
I need a round of decompress
One more time for all the good times

Gonna miss you all but mostly the cat
Gonna miss my hay, gonna miss my bed
But most of all, I'ma miss the dance
So come on y'all, let us prance
