The goodbye song

[bluenoser2]

Does anyone know all the words to the song the waiters sing at the last dinner in the dining room? You know the one...."your bags are packed, you're ready to go....leaving on a fun ship.....

[myangel]

I cry whenever they sing it because it is so sad when the cruise ends!!!

All your bags are packed, you're ready to go. We're standing here in front of you, we hate to see you go and say goodbye.

 

We have done our best to serve you this cruise. We have danced for you and made you smile, already we're so lonesome we could cry.

 

So wave to me and smile for me, tell me that you'll be back for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

 

You're leaving our funship we want to see you back again we hate to let you go.

 

So every ship you go we think of you every song I(we) sing I(we) sing for you when you come back I(we) want to serve you again (again again again).

 

So wave to me and smile for me, tell me that you'll be back for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

 

You're leaving our funship, we want to see you back again.

Leaving our funship, we hope to see you back again

Leaving our funship, we hope to see you back again.

 

(There's also stuff on YouTube.)

The song is taken from a Peter, Paul & Mary song called "Leaving on a Jet Plane."

I like "Lovely Cruise" by Jimmy Buffett. I always think of his song as we take our last look leaving the ship. boo hoo:(

That original song's an oldie but a goodie. Always apt for those bittersweet farewells.

I do too!! It is sad, it means pretty soon reality kicks you in the behind!! It is nice to have someone cook , clean for the week!!

[kicia]

That's another benefit to a B2B. At least at the end of the first one. I can enjoy the song and not be sad since we have another week to go.

It always makes me cry even though I always have several cruise booked and will be cruising shortly after the completion of that cruise.

My grandchildren cry also.

I watch the kids when the waiters sing the song, really hits them the hardest.

OMGosh...thanks for posting those words! My DS's (6 & 14) were obsessed with that song Friday night. I recorded the crew singing it on the ipad & they watched it a million times!

Women cry when they hear that song. Men cry when they see the final S&S bill.:eek::D

Thanks for posting the words! I thought I was the only one who teared up when they sang that! Our girls got really sad too - we had such a great wait staff, and some of our favourite moments on our NY cruise were at the dining table.
