I'm gonna, roll out the red carpet, when you come home
I'm gonna treat you like a VIP like you ain't never known
I'm gonna have a brass band at the station,
I'm gonna let 'em know at the united nations
I'm a gonna, roll out the red carpet, when you come home
Well I think I hear old 99 rounding the bend
I know it won't be long until you're in my arms again
I'm a gonna love you hug and kiss you
I'm gonna let you know how much I miss you
I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home
Chorus
Solo
Well I, worn out my best shoes, walking the floor
And I won't sleep a wink till you, knock on my door
Well with the word that you was a comin'
The clock on the wall just about stop runnin'
I'm a gonna roll out the red carpet when you come home
