The Coming Home Party

The Coming Home Party - Tiny Tim

I used to be the first to laugh

When Mrs Jennings took a bath

And left the window open for the neighbors

But had we looked we would've seen

That she was really very clean

And given her the credit of her labors

And Mr James where was he

The man that we had to see

And who are we to think that it was funny

When as she raised her glass and said

She wasn't sure

He might be dead or somewhere making

Love to all his money

She held her breath expectantly

While everybody stared at me

As I approached to greet Miss

Mary Blooming hello

I tweaked her nose and kissed the tip

I wiped the powder from my lip

And just because I did it left her fuming

I almost gave myself away when

Captain Graves came up to say

Glad to see me home and he was tickled

And now I'm sure I had excused the way

I used to be abused

It was worth it all to see him tickled

The atmosphere was getting thick the

Guy beside me looking sick

I would've helped at least I thought

I ought to

He flashed me an appearing grin

I stopped and took the feeling in

I wasn't sure but something told me not to

I knew I couldn't take much more

I started making for the door

And as I passed my date I let her kiss me

I grabbed my coat and stepped outside

I stuck my thumb out for a ride

Departing knowing they would never miss me

Nighty night little angels nighty night
