| The roads are the dustiest |
| The winds are the gustiest |
| The gates are the rustiest |
| The pies are the crustiest |
| The songs the lustiest |
| The friends the trustiest |
| Way back home |
| Back home |
|
| The trees are the sappiest |
| The days are the nappiest |
| The dogs are the yappiest |
| The kids are the scrappiest |
| The jokes the snappiest |
| The folks the happiest |
| Way back home |
|
| Don't know why I left the homestead |
| I really must confess |
| I'm a weary exile |
| Singing my song of loneliness |
|
| The grass is the springiest |
| The bees are the stingiest |
| The birds are the wingiest |
| The bells are the ringiest |
| The hearts? The hearts the singiest |
| The arms? The arms the clingiest |
| Way back home |
|
| What about the sun? The sun's the blaziest |
| And the fields? Field's the daisiest |
| And the cows? Cows the graziest |
| And the help? The help's the laziest |
| The boys are the wittiest |
| The girls are the prettiest |
| Way back home |
| The pigs are the snootiest |
| The owls are the hootiest |
| The plants the fruitiest |
| Stars the shootiest |
| The grins the funniest |
| The smiles the sunniest |
| Way back home |
|
| Don't know why I left the homestead |
| I really must confess |
| I'm a weary exile |
| Singing my song of loneliness |
|
| The food is the spreadiest |
| The wine is the headiest |
| The pals are the readiest |
| The gals are the steadiest |
| The love the liveliest |
| The life the loveliest |
|
| Way back, way back |
| Way back home |
| No place like home, sweet home |
|
