Be it ever so humble there's no place like home.
The charm of the Tub seems to hallow me there,
Which all Central Germany's castles can't share.
Home! home! Sweet, sweet home!
Though 'tis only a Tub, there is no place like home!
An exile from court, castles dazzle in vain.
Oh! give me my Tub and I'll gladly remain.
A proud Alexander I'm sorry (!) to snub,
But—keep your fine castles, leave me to my Tub!
Home! home! Sweet, sweet home!
