It´s very nice to go trav´ling To Paris London and Rome It´s oh so nice to go trav´ling But it´s so much nicer, yes it´s so much nicer, to come home
It´s very nice to just wander The camel route to Iraq It´s oh so nice to just wander But it´s so much nicer, yes it´s oh so nice, to wander back
The mam´selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are sweet But they can´t compete cause they just don´t have What the models have, on Madison Ave
It´s very nice to be footloose With just a toothbrush and comb It´s oh so nice to be footloose But your heart starts singin´ when your homeward wingin´ across the foam
And you know your fate is Where the Empire State is All you contemplate is The view from Miss Liberty´s dome
It´s very nice to go trav´ling But it´s oh so nice to come home
You will find the maiden and the gay muchachas are rare But they can´t compare with that sexy line That parades each day at Sunset and Vine
It´s quite the life to play gypsy And roam as Gipsies will roam It´s quite the life to play gypsy But your heart starts singin´ when your homeward wingin´ across the foam
And the Hudson River Makes you start to quiver Like the latest flivver That´s simply dripin´ with crome
It´s very nice to go trav´ling But it´s oh so nice to come home
