Thank you, you're very kind Won't you come home, Bill Bailey? Won't you come home? Ah, 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 We're 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, won't you come on home? As Miss Sophie Tucker might say Won't you come home, Bill Bailey? I say, won't you come home? Oh, you've been away Oh honey, you've been away too long I'll do that cooking, honey, yes You just bring home the money Some of these days, Bill You're gonna come on home As Miss Della Reese might say Won't you come home, Bill Bailey? I say, won't you come home? I say, you've been away too long And as Miss Pearl Bailey might say Bill, honey, daddy, you'd better bring it on home 'Cause, honey, I'm just so tired of waiting on you Honey, these shoes--I, I'm telling you, baby, it can't wait no longer Yes, I said Won't you come, won't you come? 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 Now, everybody, twist it I say, everybody, twist it So, Bailey, please, come home, no more to roam I've sung the lyrics to this song so long I guess it's time to say so long So, Bailey, won't you come on home? Mama needs loving Bill, Bailey, won't you come? Come home
