I'm enjoying the delights of the solitary life.
To the ties that bind I've bid goodbye.
I'm the spirit of "Seventy-six" complete with drum and fife.
Since my personal Fourth of July.

Independent, self sufficient, got nobody to rely on.
Independent, self reliant, got shoulder I can cry on.
Now I'm livin', I'm on my own.
Going it alone.
I don't need anyone
And no one needs me.
No need for anyone to help me mix martinis,
Roast the wienies, bake the blinis, now that I'm free.
Self sufficient, self supporting, trav'lin' light and flying solo,
Ev'ry day is Independence Day,
Hooray! Free and easy, blithe and breezy, going it alone,
I'm independent and on my own.
