Bernstein Leonard - Wonderful Town :

WHY, OH WHY, OH WHY, OH --
WHY DID I EVER LEAVE OHIO?
WHY DID I WANDER TO FIND WHAT LIES YONDER
WHEN LIFE WAS SO COZY AT HOME?

WOND'RING WHILE I WANDER,
WHY DID I FLY?
WHY DID I ROAM?
OH, WHY OH, WHY OH
DID I LEAVE OHIO?
MAYBE I'D BETTER GO
HOME. O -- H -- I -- O.

MAYBE I'D BETTER GO HOME.



words by Betty Comden and Adolph Green
music by Leonard Bernstein

note: on the "HOME. O -- H -- I -- O." line, one person sings "HOME" while the other sings "O -- H -- I -- O".


cheers,
