It's Nice to Go Trav'ling

It's very nice to go trav'lin' to Paris, London, and Rome
It's oh, so nice to go trav'lin'
But it's so much nicer, yes, it's so much nicer to come 
home

It's very nice to just wander the camel route to Iraq
It's oh, so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer, yes it's oh, so nice to wander back

        The mam'selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are
 sweet
        But they can't compete 'cause they just don't have
        What the models have on Madison Ave.

It's very nice to be footloose, with just a toothbrush and 
comb
It's oh, so nice to be footloose
But your heart starts singin' when you're homeward wingin' 
'cross the foam

                And you know your fate is where the Empire 
State is
                All you contemplate is the view from Miss 
Liberty's dome
It's very nice to go trav'lin', but it's oh, so nice to 
come home



        You will find the *maedchen * and the gay muchachas
 are rare
        But they can't compare with that sexy line
        That parades each day at Sunset and Vine

It's quite the life to play gypsy, and roam as Gypsies will
 roam

It's quite the life to play gypsy
But your heart starts singin' when you're homeward wingin' 
'cross the foam

And the Hudson River makes you start to quiver like the 
latest
flivver
That's simply drippin' with chrome
It's very nice to go trav'ling but it's oh, so nice to come
 home

No more Customs
Burn the passport
No more packin'
And unpackin'
Light the home fires
Get my slippers
Make a pizza
NOTE: *maedchen" was confirmed by my pal Walter Vogel in 
Germany.  It means "girls" in German.
