Chorus
Why is the sun shining brighter?
I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home
Why is my heart feeling lighter?
I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home
Why did I buy something nice at the store
Something that she’ll adore
Can’t you guess who it’s for?
Its for someone with hair growing whiter
Who’s happy because
I’m on my way home
Patter
I’ve been shopping and I’ll put you wise
I’ve got packages of every size
Here’s a half a dozen knitted ties
For my brother and another
Here’s a parasol that’s very plain
For my pretty little Sister Jane
Here’s a nifty little walking cane
For my father
But I’d rather not tell you what
But there’s one package more
That I bought at the store
Can’t you guess who it’s for
It’s for someone with hair growing whiter
Who’s happy because
I’m on my way home
