By the English songwriting team Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly, using the pseudonym "Irving King".
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,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.
