I Don't Want To Go Home 1919 'Angel Face'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Jul 2004

I wish that someone could tell me,
why, when a party is through
"Home Sweet Home" they must play
in a sad sort of way
making everyone blue.

Just when you fairly are started,
and all the crowds getting gay,
the band strikes up
that homesick waltz tune,
it is then I want to say:

I don't want to go home?
It is too soon.
Oh I hoped you wouldn't
think of that tune.
I can't sleep at night time.
Only by day so play!
while there is any place else to roam,
I don't want to go home.

I don't want to go home?
It is too soon.
Oh I hoped you wouldn't
think of that tune.
I can't sleep at night time.
Only by day so play!
while there is any place else to roam,
I don't want to go home.

Keep a dancing!
That's right!
Keep a prancing all night.
Keep a playing that way.
I'm for staying 'till break of day;
Keep a dancing that's right.
Keep a prancing all night,
Keep a playing just that way
and we will be so
happy, happy, happy.

I don't want to go home?
It is too soon.
Oh I hoped you wouldn't
think of that tune.
I can't sleep at night time.
Only by day so play!
while there is any place else to roam,
I don't want to go home.
