Lyrics
If you wear a smile, then
Friend, you’re just our style
There’s always welcome on the door
Chorus
Dear friends, the next time
You find yourselves in our locality
Try a sample of our hospitality
There’s always room at our house
To share a smile or two
There’s always room enough
Dear friends for you
We’ll have some coffee and cake
And maybe sing a tune or so
Introduce you to some folks
You’d like to know
There’s always room at our house
A good time always starts
When ev’ry room is full of happy hearts
You really don’t have to phone
Because we’re mostly at home
Shinin’ up the welcome on the door
Dear friends, the next time you wanna be
With folks who think you’re grand
Love to see your face
And shake you by the hand
There’s always room at our house
To share a smile or two
There’s always room enough
Dear friends, for you
