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
