Daddy Come Home (16 Dec 1913) Lyrics

[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
