Al Jolson / Billy Rose / Dave Dreyer 



The bird with feathers of blue

Is waiting for you

Back in your own backyard

You'll see your castles in Spain

Through your window pane

Back in your own backyard

Oh you can go to the East

Go to the West

But someday you'll come

Weary at heart

Back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies

Right under your eyes

Back in your own backyard

Weary at heart

Back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies
