East West over the ocean
 Perpetual motion, travelling around
 No rest, singing and playing
 Night out and day in, doing the rounds
 What a great life it must seem
 (what a great life it must seem)

 Swell joints, everything classy
 Nothing that's passé, only the best
 Lush girls ogling and eyeing
 Crying and sighing, this is success
 What a great life it must seem
 (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
 When 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
 (what a great life it must seem)

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