Im looking for the lyrics of the song the three main characters sing on
the boat in "Jaws"
all I know is the chorus
"Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
and it went straight to my head"

If you can help it would be great

Thanks

Ian

Show Me the Way to go Home

Show me the way to go home

I'm tired and I want to go to bed
Oh, I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my head
Wherever I may roam, on land or sea or foam
You will always hear me singing this song

Show me the way to go home

Indicate the way to my abode
I'm fatigued and I wish to retire
Oh, I had a little beverage 60 minutes ago
And it's gone right to my cranium
Wherever I may perambulate, on land or sea or atmospheric preassure
You will always hear me chanting this melody
Show me the way to my abode

All I remember is this:

Show me the way to go home

I'm tired and I wanna go to bed

I had a little drink about an hour ago

And it went straight to my head
Wherever I may roam
On land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song

Show me the way to go home

Then, I think, you simply repeat. Anyone else know for sure?

Cheers,

That's all there is to it...

Emerson Lake & Palmer do a nice version of "Show Me The Way To Go Home" on
their Works Vol. 2 CD.

Hi Ian!

The song you're looking for is "Show me the Way to go Home". It was
popular in the 1890's. Talk about an oldie!

You already know most of it, all you need is the last part.

Here it is:

> and it went straight to my head"

Wherever you may roam,
On land, or sea, or foam,
You can always hear me singin' this song,
Show me the way to go home.
