Show me the way to go home
When I'm happy, when I'm happy, singing all the while,
I don't need nobody then to show me how to smile,
When I've been out on the spree, toddling down the street,
With this little melody everyone I greet.Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he,
He call'd for his wine and he call'd for his pipe and he call'd for his fiddlers three.
When they'd had a high old time, all the whole night thro'
What was it that King Cole said and his fiddlers too?
Keerzang:
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
Cos I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to me head,
No matter where I roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.

Nobody knows how dry I am
So show me the way to go home.(ter)
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,

And it went right to my head,
Wherever I may roam,(ter)

Show me the way to go home.
