To be sung to the tune of "Show Me The Way To Go Home". More information here.
Won't you show me where's
Won't you show me win
My way home from here
My way home from hin
'Cos I'm all pooped out
And I'm all pooped in
And in need of cheer
And in need: chin, chin!
And what cheer I drank
And what cheer I drin
Made me feel wobbly
So will you show me the way home because my home is where I want to be-e-e-e-e?
I've been over land
I've been over loam
And been over sea
And been over foam
But no matter where
But no matter whoam
I have chanced to be
I have chanced to roam
I'll be singing this
I'll be singing thoam
As I walk all around:
"Oh, will you show me the way home because my home is where I should be fou-ou-ou-ou-ound?"
