It's Nice to Go Trav'ling

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 you're 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 madchen 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' across 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 packing and unpacking

Light the home fires

Get my slippers

Make a pizza
