Lizzie’s Comin’ Home

Lyrics

[The phone rings.] [H.C., spoken] All right, all right, I'm comin', I'm comin'! Dang telephone's gettin' to be a nuisance Rings sometimes twice a day Hello? Yeah, this is H.C.  Un-huh What do you mean, "today?" She's here today? Oh my God! Well, thanks, Mildred, thanks for callin'! Boys, I've got some good news Your sister's comin' home early! [JIM & NOAH, spoken] Alright! Woohoo! [H.C., spoken] Boys, I got some bad news Your sister's comin' home early [JIM, spoken] Huh? [H.C., spoken] She'll be here directly in five minutes [NOAH, spoken] Oh, my God [JIM, spoken] Now, what's so bad about that? All we gotta do is— [JIM & NOAH, spoken] Clean up! [H.C.] When Lizzie is here The house is full of laughter When Lizzie is here It has a woman's touch When Lizzie is here We get together after Our supper is over Sit in the parlor Singing together When Lizzie is here When Lizzie is here I start to recall her ma [JIM & NOAH] And Lizzie is comin' home [H.C.] Lizzie is on the way [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Lizzie's arrivin' today Got to get busy [H.C.] Fix up for Lizzie Lizzie's comin'— [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Home! [NOAH] When Lizzie is here I don't get indigestion When Lizzie is here My appetite is fine When Lizzie is here There's never any question There's beefsteak with gravy Hot buttered biscuits Fresh apple crumble When Lizzie is here When Lizzie is here I eat'll I nearly pop! [H.C.] And Lizzie is comin' home [JIM] Lizzie is on the way [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Lizzie's arrivin' today! [JIM & NOAH] Got to get busy [H.C.] Fix up for Lizzie [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Lizzie's comin' home! [NOAH, spoken] C'mon, Jimmy, get a move on! [JIM, spoken] I'm tryin' Noah! [NOAH, spoken] Well, try harder! [JIM] When Lizzie is here I never feel so gawky When Lizzie is here I start to feelin' bright When Lizzie is here I start to gettin' talky She listens for hours Askin' me questions I know the answers When Lizzie is here When Lizzie is here I kinda forget I'm dumb [H.C. & NOAH] And Lizzie is comin' home [JIM] Lizzie is on the way [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Lizzie's arrivin' today [H.C., JIM & NOAH, spoken] Hallelujah! [H.C., JIM & NOAH] Got to get busy Fix up for Lizzie Got to get hoppin' No time for stoppin'! Lizzie's comin' Home!
