"Homeward Bound" lyrics - IRVING BERLIN

[1st verse:]
When you've packed your grip for a homeward trip
And you've started for the train
There's a feeling grand of a happy brand
That you really can't explain
All aboard you hear with a welcome ear
As the train speeds o'er the ground
There's a happiness that you can't express
When you're homeward bound

[Refrain:]
Happy, happy, happy, happy
When you're homeward bound, homeward bound
That's the time you love the rattle
Of the choo-choo hound, o'er the ground
Doggone, how lovely it feels
To hear those rattling wheels
It's the grandest kind of sound
All aboard, all aboard, step lively
Happy, happy, happy, happy
When you're homeward bound, homeward bound
As you travel on your way
The rhythm of the engine seems to say
We're getting nearer to it
We're getting nearer to it
When you're homeward bound

[2nd verse:]
I have tried to doze but my eyes won't close
Can't you guess the reason why?
When the clock strikes ten, I'll be home again
Never more to say Goodbye
I don't like the jar of the Pullman car
As it speeds along the ground
Still a Pullman berth is the best on earth
When you're homeward bound
