Dear Bob,
Googling suggests (and the lyrics seem to confirm) that it belongs to the 1980s.

‘Baghdad' (Peter Combe - an Australian) 1988
"Where's your bag, Dad, your bag? You left your bag, Dad, in Baghdad.”

There is also a copyright for “Bagdad Daddy From Old Bagdad”; words and music by Lynn W. Johnson. 12 Aug. 1957.
Cheers,
Bill.
