The Coming Home Party chords by Tiny Tim

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
DmDm
I used to be the first to laugh

When Mrs. Jennings took a bath
                 E MajorE
And left the window open for the neighbors
  E minorEm
But had we looked, we might have seen
          DmDm
That she was really very clean
  E MajorE              F#F#   BB
And given her the credit of her labors

Chorus:
    E MajorE
And Mr. Jennings, where was he?
       A augmentedA
The man that we had asked to see
  E MajorE                BB
And who were we to think that it was funny
      E MajorE                  A augmentedA
When as she raised her glass she said she wasn't sure
           BB                E MajorE
He might be dead, or somewhere making love to all his money

Verse:
  DmDm
She held her breath expectantly

While everybody stared at me
                  E MajorE
As I approached to greet Miss Mary Blooming (hello)
 E minorEm
I tweaked her nose and kissed the tip

I wiped the powder from my lip
  E MajorE                F#F#   BB
And just because I did, it left her fuming

Chorus:
     E MajorE               A augmentedA
I almost gave myself away when Captain Graves came up to say...
E MajorE               BB
Glad to see me home and he was tickled
      E MajorE              A augmentedA
And now I'm sure I had excused the way I used to be abused
BB               E MajorE
It was worth it all to see him tickled

Ha ha ha! He he he! Ooh!

Verse:
DmDm
The atmosphere was getting thick, the guy beside me looking sick
                       E MajorE
I would've helped, at least I thought I ought to
  E minorEm
He flashed me an appearing grin, I stopped and took the feeling in
 E MajorE                 F#F#   BB
I wasn't sure, but something told me not to

Chorus:
     E MajorE                 A augmentedA
I knew I couldn't take much more, I started making for the door
  E MajorE               BB
And as I passed my date, I let her kiss me
       E MajorE
I grabbed my coat and stepped outside
      A augmentedA
I stuck my thumb out for a ride
 BB                E MajorE
Departing knowing they would never miss me

(Nighty night, little angels! Nighty night.)
