So Long Dad/Love Story

(R. Newman)



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 a girl

And she's the greatest thing in all the world

I think you'll like her dad, I hope you do

But if you don't that's alright too.



What's new dad, do you still work at the drugstore

That true, still polishin' the same floor

I miss my good old dad

My but it's great to be back

Home again, but we won't be living here dad

The smoke makes Jane's eyes tear so bad

And we can't have that, I'll write you where we're at

Janey'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 convinient to

Be sure to call before you do.



So long dad, la la la la la la la la

So long dad, la la la la la la la la

So long dad, la la la la la la la la

So long dad, la la la la la la la la

So long dad, la la la la la la la la

So long dad, la la la la la la la la...
