Ooh, it's a happy time inside my mind
When a melody does find a rhyme
And says to me, "I'm comin' home to stay
I'm comin' home to stay, I'm comin' home to stay"

Oh, now it's just the same old story
Somethin' about love for glory
A nickel and a dime, a dozen fame
Oh, it's such a shame, the way they use your name

Oh, but it's only mine to sing a song
Hopin' that you'd cross along my way
Before we have to move along
Oh, now move along, oh, but we will get back again

Oh, it's a happy time inside my mind
When a melody does find a rhyme
And says to me, "I'm comin' home to stay
I'm comin' home to stay, I'm comin' home to stay"

Oh, sleep late, my darling
Let the mornin' sun warm your bed
Sleep late, my darling
Let the wind blow through your head
Sleep late, my little girl
