First Line: He's a coming He's a coming, Hear the drumming, Rum-tum-tumming
First Line of Chorus: Oh say what a day when Lindy comes home, When Lindy comes home to his mother


Lyrics as sung by Billy Jones & Ernest Hare (The Happiness Boys):

PATTER: Here he comes, Ernie.
Yes, here he comes, Bill.

VERSE 1: He's a-coming; he's a-coming.
Hear the drumming, rum-tum-tumming.
See those flags, oh, boy, how they fly,
And see those airplanes up in the sky.
Oh, hear them humming; hear them humming.
Lindy's coming; Lindy's coming home.

CHORUS 1: Oh, say, what a day when Lindy comes home,
When Lindy comes home to his mother.
Say, what a day from the earth to the dome.
Like the ancients of Rome, we shall welcome him home.
Oh, wait and see America rise
With one, two, three, four fourth of Julys.
Oh, say, what a day from Gotham to Nome,
When Lindy comes back from across the foam,
To his home sweet home.

VERSE 2: Crowds are teeming, eagles screaming,
Bedlam breaking, hist'ry making,
Yankee Doodles singin' their song.
Hear that shrieking, worshipping throng.
All wild and willing, he is thrilling.
Lindy's coming; Lindy's coming home.

CHORUS 2: Oh, say, what a day when Lindy comes home,
When Lindy comes home to his mother.
Say, what a day, what a hip-hip-hooray.
We'll put Europe away with the honors we'll pay.
The cannons' roar you'll hear in the air.
A thousand bands will play over there.
Oh, say, what a day for poet and poem,
When Lindy comes back from across the foam
To his home sweet home.

REPEAT CHORUS 1.
