This is the first ever McGuire/Simon collaboration, a response to the then BMI assignment "Sad Hello or Happy Goodbye." We chose a "happy goodbye" between roommates and presented our song in October 2012 at the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop.

LYRICS:
Good! Good for you
Finally something worked out
Not that I had any doubt it would
This is good, good for you
Say goodbye to N.Y.C.
To eating my pizza and playing my Wii
Gee, what's good for you is good for me

--Maybe it's been
Good, good for you
Who never touched a mop or a broom
And ever saw the floor of his room; who could?
[Hey, it's wood!]
Good for you!
Venture west with your debris
And leave me with my O.C.D.
See, what's good for you is good for me

You leave the sink full of hair
Your underwear is everywhere
You've been late on rent since last July
You commandeer the D.V.R.
You prance around like you're a star
Now you are, and it's so good to say goodbye!

Good! Good for you
Look at what you will achieve
You got your ticket to leave the 'hood
Fuckin' good! Good for you
Now you're going for good, huzzah!
You think that I'm gonna miss you? Psshah!
What's good for "toi" is good for "moi"

Now the bathroom will be free
Anytime I need to pee
Don't forget to leave your key!
What's good for you is good for--
