Bill Bailey |
| Thank you, you’re very kind |
| Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey? |
| Won’t you come home? |
| Ah, you’ve been away too long |
| I do that cooking, honey |
| You just bring home the money |
| Bill Bailey, please, come on home |
| Each night, when we sing this |
| We’re making an attempt to swing this |
| We sing this song a different way |
| That’s why I say |
| Who knows, like Mack the Knife |
| You may play this song all your life |
| So, Bill Bailey, won’t you come on home? |
| As Miss Sophie Tucker might say |
| Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey? |
| I say, won’t you come home? |
| Oh, you’ve been away |
| Oh honey, you’ve been away too long |
| I’ll do that cooking, honey, yes |
| You just bring home the money |
| Some of these days, Bill |
| You’re gonna come on home |
| As Miss Della Reese might say |
| Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey? |
| I say, won’t you come home? |
| I say, you’ve been away too long |
| And as Miss Pearl Bailey might say |
| Bill, honey, daddy, you’d better bring it on home |
| 'Cause, honey, I’m just so tired of waiting on you |
| Honey, these shoes--I, I’m telling you, baby, it can’t wait no longer |
| Yes, I said |
| Won’t you come, won’t you come? |
| Won’t you come on home, Bill Bailey? |
| I say, you’ve been away too long |
| Since you’ve been gone, there’s no stopping |
| To this thing they call bee-bopping |
| So, Bailey, please, come on home |
| Now, everybody, twist it |
| I say, everybody, twist it |
| So, Bailey, please, come home, no more to roam |
| I’ve sung the lyrics to this song so long |
| I guess it’s time to say so long |
| So, Bailey, won’t you come on home? |
| Mama needs loving |
| Bill, Bailey, won’t you come? |
| Come home |
