Daddy, Come Home is a song written by Irving Berlin and first published in 1913. The humorous song begins "Hello Central, dear Central, listen here: please connect me with my father" and tells the story from the point of view of a young boy calling his father on the telephone to ask him to leave work and deal with an assortment of family problems at home.[1]

The song was recorded on December 13, 1913, by Billy Murray for The Victor Talking Machine Company (No. 14167).[2]
