Little John came home one day wrapped in his parents arms
Little John came home one day and everyone was gone
Is it any wonder something has gone wrong?
Tend to the sheep that we have added to the fold
Little John says its time we all go home

Little John went off to school with a pencil and no rule
Little John came home that evening feeling like a fool
Is it any wonder the children are so cruel?
Mother and father out there somewhere searching for their gold
Little John its time that they come home

Nobody's home but me
Turn on the TV
Open the refrigerator
Find something to eat
There's one thing I must ask you
Why do you leave me all alone?

Little John went out one night running with the pack
Little John went out one night and never made it back
Is it any wonder he slipped off of the track
No one even noticed how far away he roamed
Little John says its time we all go home
