Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen
and multiple other artists



There's a boy coming home on leave
There's a girl wants him home on leave
She'll meet him right at the station
And will she tell all the Nation

There's a boy coming home on leave
And his heart will be on his sleeve
They'll have a grand celebration
When he comes home on leave

And as they meet, he'll tell her how he's missed her
That's after he's kissed her
And then they'll talk about that wedding morning
They'll plan a honeymoon, the Army can't wait till June

There's a boy coming home on leave
He'll enjoy coming home on leave
They'll make it ten days of heaven
When he comes home on leave

Allen: Bud, isn't it wonderful coming home on leave?

Flanagan: Yes, Ches, we'll soon be in Victoria Station 
What's the first thing you gotta do when you get in? 
As soon as you see the Missus, what're you gonna do?

Allen: The first thing, Bud, I'm gonna kiss the Wife

Flanagan: Are ya? And the second thing?

Allen: Well, take me pack off 
What about you, Bud?

Flanagan: Well, I'm goin' straigt in to the Missus and I'm gonna say 
"There's something I want!", send the kids to the pictures 
And when the kids are gone to the pictures, you know what I'm gonna ask her?

Allen: No, Bud

Flanagan: How ya been gettin' on for bacon?

Both: Ha-ha-ha-ha

And as they meet, he'll tell her how he's missed her
That's after he's kissed her
And then they'll talk about that wedding morning
They'll plan a honeymoon the Army ????? in June

There's a boy coming home on leave
He'll enjoy coming home on leave
They'll make it ten days of heaven
When he comes home on leave
