Lyrics

  1. There’s a game called guessing
    Since the world began I’m told
    Radio now charms us, the young as well as old
    We guess what next will happen
    We guess who will call each day
    A girl I know got married
    When a sweetheart heard her say:

Chorus:
Guess who’s been calling at our house
guess who’s invited to tea
Guess why ma helped with the cooking
guess who pa came miles to see
Guess who I am in love with
guess what my name could be
Guess, guess, guess if there’s no one else
why not guess you for me

  1. Years I have been guessing
    what the people would do next
    Aeroplanes they ride in, they vote now either sex
    On trips at church or parties
    They guess what they’ll hear and see
    A happy home’s the real life
    When the right one says to me
