Oh, hither and thither and yon 
Around the world I've gone 
Searching for true love 
As so many do 
Hither and thither and yon 

From Cairo to far off Calay 
I traveled on and on 
Seeking that someone 
Who's heart wouldn't stray 
Hither and thither and yon 

Alas, I wondered 
Through many a land 
Too blind was I to see 
True love was always close at hand 
As close as you were to me 

My journey is over 
It's good to be home 
Your face, I gaze upon 
And darling, I wonder 
Oh, why did I roam 
Hither and thither and yon 

(Hither and yon) 
Hither and thither and yon 
(Thither and yon) 
Hither and thither and yon
