Randy Newman
So Long Dad (Live)
[Intro]
Anything anybody wants to hear in particular?
"So Long Dad"—[?]—"Beehive State"
Oh, "The Beehive State," yeah
No, "So Long Dad"
Okay, I'm sorry

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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, I hope you do
But if you don't that's alright, too

[Bridge]
What's new?
Do you still work at the drugstore, is that true?
Still polishing the same floor
I miss my good old Dad
My, but I'm glad to see you
[Verse 2]
Home again
But we won't be staying herе, Dad

[Chorus]
Come and see us, Papa, when you can
Therе'll always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when it's convenient to
Be sure and call before you do

[Outro]
So long, Dad
