[Verse 1]
Home again, and the streets are not much cleaner
The quaint old south side scenery
Is quaint no more
I guess I'm older than before
Go up the stairs, go down the hallway
To my daddy's door
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your girl is home, Dad, and she's found a beau
He's just the sweetest guy I'll ever know
I hope you'll like him, Dad, I hope you do
But if you don't, that's all right, too
[Chorus 1]
What's new? Do you still work at the drugstore?
Is that true? Still polishing the same floor?
I miss my dear old Dad
My, but I'm glad to see ya
[Verse 2]
Home again, but we won't be staying here, Dad
The smoke makes Jim's eyes tear so bad
We can't have that
I guess I'll write you where we're at
Jimmy's father owns a bank
I guess he'll try his hand at that
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So come and see us, Papa, when you can
There'll always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when it's convenient to
Be sure and call before you do
[Chorus 2/Outro]
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
Well, so long, Dad
So long, Dad
Ah, so long, Dad...
