Lyrics Show me the Way to Go Home – Traditional Version Show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed, I had a little drink about an hour ago And it’s gone right to my head … Wherever I may roam, Over land or sea or foam You will always hear me singing this song Show me the way to go home. Show me the Way to Go Home – Oxford Version Indicate the way to my abode, I’m fatigued and I wish to retire. I partook a little beverage sixty minutes ago And it’s gone right to my cerebellum Wherever I may perambulate O’er land or sea or agitated water You will always hear me humming this melody Indicate the way to my habitual abode!
