What are the lyrics to The Traveling Song by Robert Klein?

Answer 1

I've been to California

Round the horn of Texas

Up to Minnesota

Been down to Arkansas

Seen the plains of Kansas

The mountains of Virginia

But The Bronx is beautiful this time of year.

Started in Nebraska

South to Alabama

Up north to Alaska

I was New Jersey bound

Had a chocolate soda in the hills of South Dakota

Oh yeah…But The Bronx is beautiful this year.

Traveling is so much fun

You steal the hotel soap

Watch the TV set

Try the vibrating bed

And then the empty yearning comes

So what're you gonna do?

Cause they say you never can go home…again

Spent a week in Austin

Took a leak in Boston

I'm very fond of Cleveland

Spent a month there one day

Been a lot of places

I've seen an awful lot of faces…oh yeah

But The Bronx is beautiful this time of year

(Harmonica solo)

Oh yeah…but the Bronx is beautiful this time of year

But…The Bronx is beautiful

(Angelic Chorus: BEAUTIFUL)…

This time of… year

It's very beautiful

… The Bronx is beautiful

Oh so beautiful

it's very pretty in Co-Op City

From the Stadium to Pelham Parkway

Botanical Gardens and Morris Park

And the Concourse and Fordham Road too

Oh The Bronx is very beautiful

You know it's very very beautiful

…But The Bronx is beautiful

(Angelic Chorus: BEAUTIFUL)

…This time of year.
