Melancholy Lullaby

I know my father is growing a beard He looks like a travelling buccaneer But you know we'll be going to town again And we'll be writing the songs again About riding our horses around the bend Train's coming in I gotta get on My ticket is ready It won't be long I was lying on the lawn And the sprinkler was on When I woke from the dream I don't know where I had been No matter where I've been It can't be half as bad No, it can't be half as bad as where I'm going It can't be half as bad No, it can't be half as bad No, it can't be half as bad as where I'm going Never coming back, I'm going away Never coming back, I'm going away Never coming back, I'm going away Never coming back, I'm going away In the morning, almost there Grab a coffee down the stairs In the morning, almost there Grab a coffee down the stairs When the children come to call We shall cook and eat them all In the morning, almost there Grab a coffee down the stairs Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes Why, why, why Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes Why, why, why Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes Why, why, why Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes One more time Coda, why you wrecking all the presents Why you being such a dingbat Gosh, you can be so dumb sometimes Why, why, why, why, why
