The Ray Stevens song is a different song, though it has the same "hook".

I'M KISSING YOU GOODBYE
Ray Stevens

The first time we met, dear, you flashed that come-on smile.
Your steamy-eyed glances nearly drove me wild.
So we drove out to the country and parked beneath the stars
Where you fogged up my windshield and set my soul afire.

Well, you moved into my place that very same night.
I was so happy it was love at first sight.

But one day I came home early the very next week,
Found a man in my closet, said he's playing hide-and-seek.
Now, I may be stupid but I'll never understand
Why he was playing hide-and-seek with all his clothes in his hand.

Get your feet off of my table. Get your shoes from under my bed.
Get your hat off of my hat-rack and put it on your head.
Get your coat out of my closet and put it on your back.
Get your Ferlin Husky records, darling. It's time for you to pack.

Get your arms from around me. It ain't no use to try.
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye.

Get your tongue out of my mouth and wipe off that silly grin.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. Ain't no telling where it's been.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. Don't try that again.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. (Mumble muffle mumble)

Let's just say "adios" with a kiss and a sigh.
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye.

Well, the flame has flickered and the passion has cooled.
I hate to lose you, darling, but I won't be fooled,
'Cause you just can't be true, dear. You're spreading it around.
You shattered all that mattered. Gonna have to put you down.

Get your dog out of my dog house, your cat out of my tree.
Get your bird out of my bird cage. I'm setting you free.
Get your toothbrush out of my bathroom, your stockings off my line.
Get your curlers off of my dresser, darling. You ain't no friend of mine.

Get your arms from around me. I won't believe your lies.
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye.

Get your tongue out of my mouth and wipe off that silly grin.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. Ain't no telling where it's been.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. Don't try that again.
Get your tongue out of my mouth. (Mumble muffle mumble)

Let's just say "adios" with a kiss and a sigh.
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye.

Get your tongue out of my mouth. Come on now. (More muffled mumbling)
