Subject: Lyr Add: S.Y.D.N.E.Y. SPELLS HOME SWEET HOME TO ME
From the sheet music at The National Library of Australia:


S.Y.D.N.E.Y. SPELLS HOME SWEET HOME TO ME
Words and music by Lew Dunn
Sydney: Clay's Programs, [192-?]
"Sung with terrific success by Clay's 25 Whizz-Bangs"

1. I've travel'd this world, you bet,
But I've seen nothing yet
Ahead of this great town.
I've seen old Gay Paree,
England and Germany,
Whose sights are great but ours are renowned,
So while this world does turn,
While you're away you'll yearn.
To come back again and sing with feeling—

CHORUS: Sydney Town, Sydney Town,
You're the best place that I know
On Sunday afternoon
Just see those couples spoon,
Manly Beach or Watson's Bay
And round at Coogee all the day,
Oh, Take me there. Take me there. Those places just suit me.
S–Y-D-N-E-Y spells Home Sweet Home to me.

2. I always was so sad,
But today I feel so glad,
'Cause I'm back in my hometown.
They can have their Tennessee,
Caroline or Waikiki.
Those places that are known by great renown,
So should you ever roam,
Far away from home,
You'll come back again and sing, as I am— CHORUS
