It's nice to go traveling


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
