Come On-a My House

"Come On-a My House" is a song written by Ross Bagdasarian and William Saroyan and originally released by Rosemary Clooney in 1951.

Cousins Bagdasarian, a songwriter, and Saroyan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, wrote the song while driving across New Mexico in the summer of 1939.

She recorded it in early 1951 with Mitch Miller leading an ensemble of four musicians including harpsichordist Stan Freeman.

Although she performed "Come On-a My House" for many years, Clooney later confessed that she hated the song and only recorded it because Miller said that she would be fired if she did not.

The 1978 M*A*S*H episode "Major Topper" features "Boot" Miller (Hamilton Camp) singing the song.
