It's lots of fun to travel
Around from place to place,
To watch the road unravel,
The country change its face;
It's fun to be a rover,
A pilgrim, now and then,
But when the journeys over
I'm glad I'm home again.
To visit friends is pleasure
Wherever they may be;
Such joys always treasure
And hold in memory.
And -somehow-why is it?
No matter where I've been,
When finished is my visit
I'm glad I'm home again.
Home, where I can be selfish
And lazy-like as we'll,
Withdraw like any shellfsh
Within my comfy shell
To shun the wide worlds tourney
And loaf around my den
I've had pleasant journey.
I'm glad I'm home again!
