Dear Old Syracuse Songtext
von Jack Cassidy

Dear Old Syracuse Songtext

This is a terrible city
The people are cattle and swine
There isn′t a girl I'd call pretty
Nor a friend that I′d call mine
And the only decent place on Earth
Is the town that gave me birth

You can keep your Athens, you can keep your Rome
I'm a hometown fellow and I pine for home
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse
Though I've worn out sandals and my funds are low
There′s a light that′s burning in the patio
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse


It is no metropolis
It has no big Acropolis
And yet there is a quorum
Of cuties in the Forum
Though the boys wear tunics that are out of style
They will always greet me with a friendly smile
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse

Both the Nile and Danube are a silly bore
I've a hometown river that assaults my door
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse
When a man is lonely it is good to know
There′s a red light burning in the patio
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse

Wives don't want divorces there
The men are strong as horses there
And should a man philander
The goose forgives the gander
When the search for love becomes a mania
You can take the night boat to Albania
I wanna go back, go back to dear old Syracuse
