It's fine to see the old world and travel up and down
Among the famous palaces and cities of renown
To admire crumbling castles and the statues of the kings
But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things
So it's home home again America for me
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
Oh London is a man's town there's power in the air
And Paris is a woman's town with flowers in her hair
And it's sweet to dream in Venice it's great to study Rome
But when it comes to living there's no place like home
^?
So it's home home again America for me
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
I know Europe's wonderful yet something seems to lack
The past is too much with her and the people looking back
Oh the glory of the present is to make the future free
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be
So it's home home again America for me
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the oceans green
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
