I see by the papers how the quintuplets grew
How a duck-billed platypus was given to the zoo
But I don't see a thing about my baby
Comin' home

I see by the paper Superman saved the day
Li'l Abner's still the only boy for Daisy May
But I don't see a thing about my baby
Comin' home

I look in the personal column
Read the time tables each day
Ive got it bad, think I'll buy an ad
"Help wanted right away."

I see by the papers there's a whole lotta news
But there's none to cancel my subscription to the blues
'Cause I don't see a thing about my baby
Comin' home

[Instrumental Break]

I see by the papers there's a whole lotta news
But there's none to cancel my subscription to the blues
'Cause I don't see a thing about my baby
Comin' home
