So long dad, home again
And the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery

Is quaint no more
Just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway
To my daddy's door

Your son is home, dad
And he's found girl
Well, she's the greatest girl
In all the world

I think you'll like her dad
I hope you do
But if you don't
That's all right too?

What's new
Do you still work at the drug store?
Is that true?
Still polishing the same floor

I miss my good old dad
My but I'm glad to see ya
Home again
No, I won't be staying here, dad

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
So long dad, so long dad, so long dad
