| Lyrics | My Daddy’s Coming Home Verse: Hear the bells all ringing! Hear the whistles blow! Gee! But we’re glad no one is sad this is the greatest day we’ve ever had. See the love-light shining in my mother’s eyes. Now listen while I tell you just why she’s in paradise: Refrain: My daddy’s coming home! My daddy’s coming home! Oh! I’m jumping for joy, just like each girl and boy, who’s got someone over the foam. We’ve kept the home-fires burning and in the window there’s a light. All our worries are o’er Mother will cry no more cause my daddy’s coming home. Verse: Oh! How long we’ve waited for this day to come. They’re on their way back home to stay marching along to the tune of a fife and drum. When I see my daddy I will climb his knee, And we’ll make we’ll make up what we’ve missed since he went away from me. Refrain |
