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