A hit in 1961 for British comedian Tommy Cooper. Capo on 4 to play in right key () Daddy came home from work tired His boss had been driving him mad The kids were all shouting the dog bit him too His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew I guess it was then he decided Up to the rooftop he'll go He was about to jump off when The kids started howling below 'Don't jump off the roof Dad You'll make a hole in the yard Mother's just planted petunias The weeding and seeding was hard If you must end it all Dad Won't you please give us a break Just take a walk down the park Dad And there you can jump in the lake.' Repeat chorus 'Don't jump off the roof Dad You'll make a hole in the yard Mother's just planted petunias The weeding and seeding was hard If you must end it all Dad Won't you please give us a break Just take a walk down the park Dad And there you can jump in the lake
