Father, dear father. come home with me
For mother is out to the club
You said you We're coming right home
To gel get the dear children some grub.

The ianitor's gone on a spree,
And poor Brother Bonnie has swallowed
And no one to help him but me.
Father. dear father, come home with me
There's nS~' scrubbing and sweeping to do.
While mother is solving the problems Of
The Children are crying for you
The socks must be darned, the patches
The beds must be turned back to air,
And mothers shirt waist must be ironed
or she will have nothing to wear.
Father. dear father come home with me
It's lonesome without any man;
And mother will grieve when she comes
If things thin IS are rem not fixed spick and span.
Don't swear, dear papa; it isn't polite;
The children in hearing might be;
So let business slide, for dear mother you
May bring home a few, friends to tea.
