Manfred Mann — So Long Dad

[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...
