| 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 |
