Mattress smaller — pillows lumpier
but I sleep sounder
in my own bed

    “Late last night so far away
    I dreamed my-self a dream
    Well I dreamed I as so all alone
    Isn’t it nice to be home again?
    I said welcome home
    Didn’t we miss your smiling face
    Well the sun was nice in L.A.
    Sun-shine
    Isn’t it nice to be home again?
    Well I said isn’t it nice to be home a-gain?”
