HOME SWEET HOME
MID PLEASURES AND PALACES, THOUGH WE MAY ROAM,
BE IT EVERY SO HUMBLE, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
A CHARM FROM THE SKY SEEMS TO HALLOW US THERE,
WHICH SEEK THROUGH THE WORLD, IS NE'ER MET WITH ELSEWHERE.

HOME, HOME, SWEET, SWEET HOME, BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
