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
