I LEFT MY DOOR OPEN AND MY DADDY WALKED OUT
(Irving Berlin)

Melba Joyce



What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm just as sad as can be
Something awful happened to me
What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm in a terrible plight
Like a great big fool I did a very silly thing last night

I left my door open and my daddy walked out
Without a doubt
Worried am I, wondering why
He never stopped to say Goodbye
I can't live without my loving daddy about
That's why I shout
He must come back, I'll lose my mind
A good man's mighty hard to find
He must have some loving now and then
Maybe that will bring him back again
I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back

What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm in a terrible rage
Like a bird, he flew from his cage
Daddy of mine, send me a line
Say that you'll come back to me
When you do, I'll lock the door
And try my best to lose the key

I left my door open and my daddy walked out
Without a doubt
Worried am I, wondering why
He never stopped to say Goodbye
I can't live without my loving daddy about
That's why I shout
He must come back, I'll lose my mind
A good man's mighty hard to find
A good man's mighty hard to find
He must have some loving now and then
Maybe that will bring him back again
I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back
Till my daddy comes back
Gonna keep my door open till my daddy comes back

Come on in here, daddy!
