| 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 señoritas 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 gypsies will roam
|
| It’s quite the life to play gypsy
|
| But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' 'cross the foam
|
| And the Hudson River
|
| Makes you start to quiver
|
| Like the latest flivver
|
| That’s simply drippin' with chrome
|
| It’s very nice to go trav’ling
|
| But it’s oh so nice to come home
|
| No more customs
|
| Burn the passport
|
| No more packin'
|
| And unpackin'
|
| Light the home fires
|
| Get my slippers
|
| Make a pizza |
