Homesick Blues

I'm so homesick

And I'm three thousand miles from Times Square

I hate cafe au lait

This whole town is tres louse

I'm Place Vendome-sick

Fall asleep at the Folies Bergere

It's all a lot of chichi

I burp when I drink Vichy

Here's to Tin Pan Alley

A Yankee Rally

A show like "Sally,"

And notwithstanding Rand McNally

There's only one Broadway

On the map of the U.S.A.

Let's tell the gang we're coming

Back to old-fashioned kisses and modern plumbing

I've got those I'm-so-homesick blues

I miss Marilyn Miller in "Sunny,"

Jolson down on one knee

Mary Garden and Gatti-Casazza

Lovely evenings at the Plaza

Watching a fighter like Dundy

Cheering for May Bundy

Nora Bayes in a bill at the Palace

Teddy Roosevelt's daughter Alice

Theda Bara

Fiske O'Hara

Palais Royal

Standard Oil

Man O' War

Barrymore

Fritzi Scheff

Mutt and Jeff

Belmont Track

Cracker Jack

We've stayed away too long

From gals like Sophie Tucker

Texas Diamond won't be wrong

With that greeting: "Hello, sucker!"

Here's to Valentino

The Park Casino

The big Bambino

The cigarettes called Melachrino

Give me that old mainstem

And a song by the great George M

I feel my heart beat faster

Anywhere in the neighborhood of the Astor

I've got those I'm-so-homesick blues
