[1st verse:]

Hello! Central, dear

Central, listen here

Please connect me with my father

Number one, two, three!

Daddy, this is me

Come home right away

Since you left this morning, Daddy dear

Many, many things have happen'd here



[chorus:]

Daddy, come home!

Close the factory and hurry up home!

Won't you come to me?

Johnny stole my mittens

My brand new Sunday mittens

Outside of that, the cat just lost her kittens

Daddy, come home!

Johnny's punching me and I can't hold my own

Ma found a locket of a girl in your pocket, Daddy

So you better come home



[2nd verse:]

Daddy, hurry up!

Johnny broke the cup

That we borrow'd from our neighbor

Harry stubbed his toe

Playing Buffalo

Mabel fell down the stairs

Willie's chasing Jack around the flat

Ev'rything is fine outside of that
