Exercises in Song 2008: #10
Show him the way to go home;
I'm tired and I'm not sure where it is.
You know that when he's had a few, there's no telling him—
And that bottle there is his!
No matter how he goes—
In a stupor, trance or doze—
I'll be glad to see him finally find
The way that only he knows!
