I [C]sell a line of plastics
And I [F]travel on the [C]road
And I [F]have a case of [Em]samples
Which be[F]lieve me is a [G]load

[C]Every night a strange cafe
A [F]strange hotel and [C]then
[F]Early in the [Em]morning
I am [F]on the [G]road [C]again

[Dm]When the season's over
And my [Em]lonesome journey ends
That's the [Dm]only time I [Em]see
My [Dm]family and my [G]friends

I [C]drive up Ocean Parkway
And be[F]fore I stop the [C]car
My [F]ma leans out the [Em]window
And she [F]hollers, "Here [G]we [C]are!"

Shake [C]hands with your Uncle Max, mein boy
And [F]here is your sister [C]Shirl
And [F]here is your cousin [Em]Isabel
That's [Dm]Irving's oldest [G]girl
And do [C]you remember the Tishman twins
[F]Gerald and Je[C]rome
We [F]all came out to [C]greet you
And to [F]wish you [G]welcome [C]home

Meet...
[F]Merowitz, Berowitz, Handelman, Schandelman
Sperber and Gerber and [Bb]Steiner and [C]Stone
[F]Boskowitz, Lubowitz, Aaronson, Baronson,
Kleinman and Feinman and [Bb]Friedman and [F]Cohn

[Gb]Smallowitz, Wallowitz, Teitelbaum, Mandelbaum
Levin, Levinsky, Le[B]vine and [Db]Levi
[Gb]Brumburger, Schlumburger, Minkus and Pinkus
And Stein with an "e-i" and [B]Styne with a [Gb]"y"

[Ab]Shake [Db]hands with your Uncle Sol mein boy
And [Gb]here is your brother [Db]Sid
And [Gb]here is your cousin [Fm]Yetta
Who ex[Ebm]pects another [Ab]kid

When[Db]ever you're on the road mein boy
Wher[Gb]ever you may [Db]roam
We'll [Gb]all be here when [Fm]you come back
To [Gb]wish you [Ab]welcome [Db]home

Note: personally, I prefer to go up a full step, not a half step,
at the "Smallowitz" key change; it makes it easier to play.
For that version, the chords for the final three stanzas are:
[G] / [C] / [D] / [G] / [C] / [G]
[A] / [D] / [G] / [D] / [G] / [Gbm] / [Em] / [A]
[D] / [G] / [D] / [G] / [Gbm] / [G] / [A] / [D]
