Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say

Turning all the night time into the day.”

No woman, no cry”

And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”

But when it comes to living there is no place like home.
