Saga Of Bill Bailey - 2007 Digital Remaster

Now, you take this morning for example

I floated cornflakes in my coffee

The coffee grounds are wrapped in silk

My piggy bank is full of bobby pins and milk

Today what's right is wrong

Today what's up is down

Tomorrow could be worse

Tomorrow I may drown

Then everyone will laugh at this old clumsy clown

But listen my sweet petutti, you so and so

You went and did it to me

Why did you have to go away?

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?

Won't you come home?

I moan the whole day long

Now I'll bake you cookies, Billy

With chocolate chips

Now I know, I know I've done you wrong

Do you remember that rainy evening?

They say I threw you out

You left with nothing

You left with nothing but a fine tooth comb

So I'm to blame and I'm ashamed

And so all alone

Billy, hey Billy baby, come on home

An old daddy of mine dropped dead and so I'm

Collecting on his life insurance

Come on and spend that money, Bill Bailey

Come on home

Now you've been away too long

A whole lot of goodies I'll buy you

I'll buy you a Hong Kong

Now who said, who said I've done you wrong?

When you are on my doorstep, petutti

I'll yell hooray

It's Billy, Bailey, shalom

Now who's to blame, Bill?

Who's ashamed, Bill?

I'm all alone

Come on, Bailey

Bailey, won't you please come on home?

I'm looking for you

I'm praying for you

I'm cooking for you

I turn my flame up

Come home, Bill Bailey, come on home

Then I'll sing, I'll sing no more, no more sad songs

I want that man's arms around me

I want him 'til it hurts

Now Bailey, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong

Now do you remember that rainy evening?

The night that you left

Bailey, you stole, you stole my fine tooth comb

Bailey, Bailey, shame, shame

I know it is you who did the thing

But William Benjamin Bailey

You've just got to come on home

Come home

Thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you
