SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
I,M TIRED AND I WANT TO GO TO BED
WELL I HAD A LITTLE DRINK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO AND
IT WENT RIGHT TO MY HEAD
WHEREVER I MAY ROAM
LAND OR SEA OR FOAM
YOU CAN ALWAYS HEAR ME
SINGING THIS SONG
SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME.

INDICATE THE WAY TO MY HABITUAL ABODE
I,M TIRED AND I WANT TO GO TO BED
WELL I HAD A LITTLE ALCHOLIC AWILE AGO
AND IT WENT RIGHT TO MY CEREBELLUM
WHEREVER I MAY PREAMBULATE
ON LAND OR SEA OR ATMOSPHERE AT ANY RATE
YOU CAN ALWAYS HEAR ME SINGING
THIS WARNING;
INDICATE THE WAY TO MY HABITUAL ABODE.
