[Verse 1]
 A
 Show me the way to go home
     D                         A
 I'm tired and I want to go to bed
   A
 I had a little drink about an hour ago
        E
 And it went right to my head
       A
 Where ever I may roam
    D              A
 On land or sea or foam
          A
 You will always hear me singing this song
          E                     A
 Wont you show me the way to go home
 
 [Verse 2]
 Indicate the way to my abode
 I'm fatigued and I want to retire
 I had a spot of beverage sixty minutes ago
 And it went right to my cerebellum
 Where ever I may perambulate
 On land, or sea or atmospheric vapor
 You can always hear me crooning the melody
 Indicate the way to my abode

 Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts

 and me without my spoon
 We’ll use a straw!
