Hello! Central dear, Central,
listen here;
please connect me with my father.
Number one, two, three!
Daddy! this is me:
Come home right away
since you left this morning, Daddy dear,
Many, many things have happened here.

Daddy, come home!
Close the factory and hurry up home!
Won't you come to me?
Johnny stole my mittens,
my brand new Sunday mittens;
outside of that,
the cat just lost her kittens.
Daddy come Home!
Johnny's punching me,
and I can't hold my own.
Ma found a locket
of a girl in your pocket, Daddy,
so you better come home.

Daddy, come home!
Close the factory and hurry up home!
Won't you come to me?
Johnny stole my mittens,
my brand new Sunday mittens;
outside of that,
the cat just lost her kittens.
Daddy come Home!
Johnny's punching me,
and I can't hold my own.
Ma found a locket
of a girl in your pocket, Daddy,
so you better come home.

Daddy, hurry up! Johnny broke the cup
that we borrowed from our neighbour.
Harry stubbed his toe,
playing Buffalo:
Mabel fell down stairs,
Willie's chasing Jack around the flat:
Ev'rything is fine, outside of that.

Daddy, come home!
Close the factory and hurry up home!
Won't you come to me?
Johnny stole my mittens,
my brand new Sunday mittens;
outside of that,
the cat just lost her kittens.
Daddy come Home!
Johnny's punching me,
and I can't hold my own.
Ma found a locket
of a girl in your pocket, Daddy,
so you better come home.

Daddy, come home!
Close the factory and hurry up home!
