I need to come up with a evening of songs at a goodbye house party. Anybody got a suggestion about a goodbye house song or do I have to write one??

How about the old classic "Moving Day"?

The lyrics are in a discussion thread here but if you can't find them I'll be happy to post a set.

"So Long, It's Been Good to Know You"; "Brandy, Leave Me Alone", "Hear's a Health to the Company", "Parting Glass" are all time-tested closers with good singalong capability.

Here's A Health To The Company :

Fine friends and companions
come join me in rhyme
come lift up your voices
in chorus with mine
come lift up your voices,
all grief to refrain
for we may or might never
all meet here again

chorus:
so here's a health to the company
and one to my lass
let's drink and be merry
all out of one glass
let's drink and be merry
all grief to refrain
for we may or might never
all meet here again

here's a health to the wee lass
that I love so well
for her style and for her beauty
there's none can excel
there's a smile on her countenance
as she sits upon my knee
there is no man in this wide
world as happy as me

chorus:
so here's a health
to the company
and one to my lass
let's drink and be merry
all out of one glass
let's drink and be merry
all grief to refrain
for we may or might never
all meet here again

our ship lies at anchor
she's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing
without any shock
and if I ever I should
meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember
your kindness to me

chorus:
so here's a health to the company
and one to my lass
let's drink and be merry
all out of one glass
let's drink and be merry
all grief to refrain
for we may or might
never all meet here again
