Irving Berlin - I Left My Door Open And My Daddy Walked Out Lyrics

[1st verse:]
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

[Refrain:]
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 lovin' daddy about
That's why I shout
He must come back or I'll lose my mind
A good man's mighty hard to find
He must have some lovin' now and then
Maybe that will bring him back again
I'm gonna keep my door wide open
Till my daddy comes back

[2nd verse:]
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
