Accompaniment – player piano QRS word roll #2016:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
Sung here by Fred Feild:
