Just like Nellie Dean, Show me the way to go home is another song that was popular with drunkards and could be heard daily in pubs frequented by naval types. Very often, it would be repeated using "long words" in a working class imitation of an aristocratic accent. "Show me the way to go home" being replaced with: "Indicate the way to my abode, I'm fatigued and wish to retire. I imbibed a little approximately 60 minutes ago, ..... "etc. etc.

This song was recorded and is included in We're Only Here For The Beer! - Light by Dr. Rosteck and myself.
