So Long Dad - Manfred Mann

My God, it’s great to be back home again

The streets are not much cleaner

The quaint old home town 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 a girl

And she’s the greatest girl in all the world

I think you’ll like her, Dad, and I hope you do

But if you don’t that’s alright too

And what’s new, Dad?

What’s new, Dad?

I miss my dear old dad

My God, it’s great to be back home again

We won’t be staying here, Dad

The smoke makes Jane’s eyes tear so bad

We can’t have that

We’ll write you where we’re at

Jane’s uncle owns a bank

I think I’ll try my hand at that

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 to call before you do

And so long, Dad

So long, Dad

I miss my dear old dad

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 to call before you do

And so long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long, Dad

So long
