Paroles: Hermans Hermits. East West.

East, west, over the ocean
Perpetual motion, traveling around
No rest, singing and playing
Night out and day in, doing the rounds
What a great life it must seem

Swell joints, everything classy
Nothing that's passe, only the best
Lush girls ogling and eying
Crying and sighing, this is success
What a great life it must seem

But when I hear young voices singing out
The bells at home come ringing out
When I think all alone
Then I think of my home

Mom, Dad, all 'round the fire
In festive attire, keeping the day
Aunts, kids, all the relations
Congratulations, this is success
What a great life it must seem

But when I hear young voices singing out
The bells at home come ringing out
When I feel all alone
Then I long for my home
