Lyrics
Laddie in Khaki (The Girl Who Waits at Home) Verse: There is a girl who waits at home Who’s full of charm and grace. Tho’ her heart is sadden’d, She keeps a smiling face. Ask her whom she’s thinking of All the livelong day, With a smile that lights her face, She will softly say: Refrain: “Laddie in khaki, I’m waiting for you! I want you to know That my heart beats true. I’m longing and praying, And living for you, So come back little laddie in khaki!”
