[Verse 1]
My, but it's great
To be back home again
The streets are not much cleaner
The quaint old hometown scenery
Is quaint no more
Just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway
To my daddy's door

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
And what's new, Dad?
What's new, Dad?
I miss my good old dad

[Verse 2]
My, but it's great
To be back home again
We won't be staying here, Dad
The smoke makes Jane's eyes tear so bad
And we can't have that
We'll write you where we're at
Janie's uncle owns a bank
I think I'll try my hand at that
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
And so long, Dad
So long, Dad
I miss my good old dad

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
And so long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad

[Outro]
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad...
