[Verse 1]

Sad and alone 

in a mansion
              
No loving wife

      
 to caress

Sat a man sad 

and lonely
              
No loving wife

           
's lips to kis

s
    
She married hi

m for position
            
No love in her

           
 heart had she
              
Sad and alone,

            
 in his fine h

  
ome
            
He looked all 

              
around him and

 
 said


[Chorus]

What is home w

ithout a baby
              
To love and to

           
 tease and ado

re

What is home w

ithout a sweet

 wife
              
To kiss you ea

              
ch night at th

  
e door

What is home w

ithout sunshin

e
            
To spread its

om above
              
You can have w

             
ealth and its 

    
pleasures
            
But what is ho
