Back to the City.
I've been away to the mountain inn,
And the seaside spot where they charge
like sin,
And I've spent my coin in the search
And bluffed my bluff at the social
But 1 gladly hail all the fuss and
I'm glad to be home.
I'm glad to be back where the people
>stop
At the upraised hand of the noble cop,
Where the folks 90 by with a vacant
stare,
And the drivers block up the street
and swear,
And the din of traffic beats the air
I'm glad to be home.
There's something sweet in the roar and
crash
Of the rushing street where the people
dash,
From the crossings, swift, like to
hunted deer,
And the mobile folks do their best to
steer
Past the heavy trucks-and I'm glad
I'm here
I'm glad to be home.
Pm glad to get back to the crowded
town,
Where the street cars try to run you
down,
And the hammers bang, the whistle
blares,
And the peddler man calls out his
wares,
And nobody knows who you are, nor
cares
