JANE & GORDON:
Home is where the heart is
Wherever you may roam
If you're where your heart is
Close your eyes and you'll be home

JANE:
Each night when you're dreaming
My prayers will cross the sea
GORDON:
Home is where the heart is
And you're in the heart of me

JANE: You'll find me there
GORDON: You'll find me there
JANE: No matter where
GORDON: No matter where
JANE: Just look for me at Reveille
GORDON: At Reveille

BOTH:
Home is where the heart is
Wherever you may roam
If you're where your heart is
Close your eyes and you'll be home

GENE:
If the dream that you dream is prolific
What's the diff if you're in the Pacific
Bet you, Jack, you'll feel you're back
In the good old United States

JACK:
And then again let us suppose
The put you with the Eskimos
Cold or hot, you're on the spot
So don't go askin' for igloo rates

GENE:
If they want, they can send you to Siam
Though you're feelin' as lonely as I am
Here's the laugh, a photograph
Makes you think it's your own hometown

JACK:
When any Mexicali babe
Turns out to be a pally babe
Memories fly and by and by
She's standin' there when you turn around 

GORDON:
Home is where the heart is
Wherever you may roam
If you're where your heart is
Close your eyes and you'll be home

(Dance Routine)

GORDON:
Home is where the heart is
Wherever you may roam
If you're where your heart is
Close your eyes and you'll be home

ALL:
Home is where the heart is
So close your eyes and you'll be home
