He’s Comin’ Home Again!
Virginia Salter


Look, it’s just like the carriage in my dream
I told you, I told you!

Papa’s comin’ home again!
‘member, in the dream,
He had a big surprise!

A wiggly, squiggly, squirmy, big surprise!
I can hardly wait till they arrive!
I just know he’ll have a big, big hug
for each of us...

And the surprise,
well, it will be a wonderful friend,
paper tearing,
bedtime sharing,
yipping, yapping,
daytime napping
cuddly bundle of fluff...

then
it’ll bring us sticks,
do charming tricks,
and curl up by the fire
when the storms are raging
and nighttime’s staging
a ‘lectric light show
for all

Papa’s comin’,
you just wait and see,
that’s Papa comin’
from across the war-torn sea
back to you and me!
Let’s go out to meet him,
last one there’s a rotten egg!
