Ev'ryone's excited down at my house
ev'ryone's delighted there,
soon you'll be invited down to my house
down to a joyous affair,
can't you see I'm happy,
happy and gay,
see the look of joy in my eye,
you'll never guess why I'm feeling this way
So here's the reason why.

Somebody's coming to my house,
somebody's coming to stay.
Father feels so happy
he's jumping with joy,
All he keeps saying is:
"I hope it's a boy,"
Welcome is waiting the stranger
who'll come to brighten our lives,
I can hear mother croon,
he'll be president soon,
when the cute little stranger arrives.

Somebody's coming to my house,

I can hear mother croon,
he'll be president soon,
when the cute little stranger arrives.

Ev'rything is quiet down at my house
we must tiptoe through the hall,
soon there'll be a riot down at my house,
when someone starts in to bowl.
Auntie said: "We'll call it 'Lizabeth Jane'"
Sister looked at auntie and smiled.
Dad said Elizabeth's fine, but I hope,
it's not that kind of a child.

Somebody's coming to my house,
somebody's coming to stay.
Father feels so happy
he's jumping with joy,
All he keeps saying is:
"I hope it's a boy,"
Welcome is waiting the stranger
who'll come to brighten our lives,
I can hear mother croon,
he'll be president soon,
when the cute little stranger arrives.
