'Tis fine to see the Old World, and travel up / and down / Among the famous palaces and cities of renown, / To admire the crumbly castles and the statues of / the kings, -- / But now I think I've had enough of antiquated / things.
So it's home again, and home again, America for / me I / My heart is turning home again, and there I long to / be, / In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean / bars, / Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full / of stars.
