[1st verse]:
Ev'ryone's excited down at my house
Ev'ryone's delighted there
Soon you'll be invited down to my house
Down to a joyous affair
Can't you see I'm happy, happy and gay
See the look of joy in my eye
You'll never guess why I'm feeling this way
So here's the reason why
[chorus]:
Somebody's coming to my house
Somebody's coming to stay
Father feels so happy he's jumping with joy
All he keeps saying is "I hope it's a boy"
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
