| Lyrics: | It's very nice to go trav'lin' to Paris, London, and Rome
It's oh, so nice to go
trav'lin'
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 you're homeward
wingin' 'cross 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'lin', but it's oh, so nice to come home
You will
find the *maedchen * 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 you're 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
NOTE: *maedchen" was confirmed by my pal Walter Vogel in Ge |
