Songtexte Bill Bailey - Live in Japan (January 22, 1964 / First Set) - Ella Fitzgerald
Thank you, thank you ladies and gentlemen
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?
You've been away too long
I do that cooking, honey
You just bring home the money
Bill Bailey, please, come on home
Each night, when we sing this
All making an attempt to swing this
We sing this song a different way
That's why I say
Who knows, like Mack the Knife
You may play this song all your life
So, Bill Bailey, please come on home?
As Miss Sophie Tucker might say
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
I say, won't you come home? Yessir
I say you've been away
Oh honey, you've been away too long
I'll do that cooking, honey, you better believe it
You just bring home the money
Sound more like Jimmy the Randy
Some of these days, Bill you're gonna come on home
And as Miss Della Reese might sing this song
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
I say, won't you come home?
I say you've been away, you've been away too long
And of course, Miss Pearl Bailey might say
Bill, honey, daddy, you'd better bring it on home
Ooh, honey, these funny shoes
I'm telling you, baby, it can't wait no longer
Say won't you come on home, come on home?
Won't you come on home, Bill Bailey?
I say, you've been away too long
Since you've been gone, there's no stopping
To this thing they call bee-bopping
So, Bailey, please, come on home
And as the late great and only one Mrs Diana Washington would say
Yes, won't you come home, yeah?
I say you've been away too long
I've sung the lyrics to this song so long
I guess it's time to say so long
So, Bailey, please come on home?
Mama needs loving
Bill, Bailey, won't you please come?
Co-co-come on home
Thank you, I thank you
