Summary

Portrait of Irving Berlin Irving Berlin,  Somebody's Coming to My House (1913)

“ Welcome is waiting the stranger
Who'll come to brighten our lives
I can hear mother croon
"He'll be president soon"
When the cute little stranger arrives
[2nd verse] :
Ev'rything is quiet down at my house
We must tip-toe through the hall
Soon there'll be a riot down at my house
When someone starts in to bawl
Auntie said "We'll call it 'Lizabeth Jane"
Sister looked at auntie and smiled
Dad said "Elizabeth's fine but I hope
It's not that kind of a child
