I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go; I like things as they are—just so. I gotta job I kin hold for life. I gotta home and a darned good wife; Maybe I'm rusty, maybe I'm slow But I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. Gotta bit of money, just a small amount Tucked away in a bank account; Rollin' stones don't get no moss, Not, at least, that I've run across; Guys that's restless, let 'em pack an' blow, I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. I like things just the way they are; I got two babies an' a flivver car, That'll take us any place we please But I don't hanker for no seven seas. I wanna watch my youngsters grow, I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. I'll get stuffy, and I'll get fat? That's my worry, lemme tell you that. You like travel, go ahead and hike, Staying home is the thing I like. Them's my feelings, do you get me, bo? I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REALITY REQUIRES by WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA THE CRUISE OF THE MONITOR [MARCH 9, 1862] by GEORGE M.
