Show Me the Way to Go Home

"Show Me the Way to Go Home" is a song written by Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly on a train ride from London. As reflected in the lyrics, the two men had been drinking and were tired from their long journey.
The song has been referenced in works by George Orwell, Truman Capote, and Terry Pratchett; TV shows such as Lost, Babylon 5, and Family Guy; and featured in several movies including a prominent scene in Jaws.

* A 1973 Sesame Street sketch features a cow named Lola singing portions of the song as she looks for a new home. She hums and sings some of the lyrics, but stops before getting to any of the parts about being tired or having had anything to drink.
* In a "Land of Gortch" sketch (from the December 13, 1975 edition of Saturday Night Live), King Ploobis and Scred drunkenly sing it as they head to see the Mighty Favog.
