Come 'round any old time,
Make yourself at home;
Put your feet on the mantle shelf,
Open the cupboard and help yourself.
Now, I don't care if your friends,
Have left you all alone;
Rich or poor, just knock on the door,
And make yourself at home.
Come 'round any old time,
Make yourself at home;
Put your feet on the mantle shelf,
Open the cupboard and help yourself.
Now, I don't care if your friends,
Have left you all alone;
Rich or poor, just knock on the door,
And make yourself at home.
####.... Cammie Howard, 1949. Written for the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa's welcome song ....####
This song is considered by many to be a traditional campfire song; however, it has been sung at the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa since it was written in 1949 by one of the club's members, Cameron William (Cammie) Howard [b.1910], bandmaster and clarinetist.
This variant arranged and recorded by Harry Hibbs (Somewhere At Sea, trk#14, 1971, Arc Sound Ltd., Toronto, Ontario).
A variant was also recorded by Ginny Ridpath for The Taylor Statten Camps, Algonquin Park, Ontario (A Song And A Time To Remember - A Tribute To Dr. Tay, trk#4, 1977, Ahmek Productions, Toronto, Ontario).
