from "Mr President" 1962 New York

as recorded by
Perry Como 1962


(Welcome home!  Welcome home!  Welcome home!  Welcome home!) 

I'm so glad to be home again,
I promise never to roam again.
It's oh so good to be home again,
I could cry, I'm so happy.
I'm back where I had to be,
Awfully glad to be home!

My heart suddenly mends again,
Among my neighbours and friends again.
As I start tyin' loose ends again,
I could cry, I'm so happy!
There's no need of askin' me,
Certainly you can see
Just why I'm glad to be home,
Why I'm so glad to be home!
(Glad to have you home again, have you home again!
Hope you'll stay with us a while, sir!)

I'm so glad to be home again, (He's so glad to be home again)
I promise never to roam again. (You promise never to roam again)
It's oh so good to be home again (It's oh so good to be)
I could cry, (He could cry) I'm so happy, (He's so happy)
I'm back where I had to be,
Awfully glad to be home! (Sweet Home! )

My heart suddenly mends again,
Among my neighbours and friends again,
As I start tyin' loose ends again,
I could cry, I'm so happy!
There's no need for askin' me,
Certainly you can see
Just why I'm glad to be home!

(I'm so glad you've been home again)
Promise never to roam again,
Promise never to leave the land I love!
Glad to be home!
