In 1925, English songwriters James Campbell & Reginald Connelly (under the pseudonym Irving King) wrote the song Show Me The Way Too Go Home. The song was inspired by long journey home that lead to some heavy drinking. The popular song has become a traditional drinking song, and it continues to be recorded and and make appearances in books, in films and on television. The song was recorded numerous times in the twenties, and the first two lines of the song appeared in the 1928 silent film The Crowd. The first time the song was actually heard on the big screen was in Max Fleischer's 1932 Screen Songs film Show Me The Way To Go Home. Since then it has appeared on the screen many times, including famously appearing in a scene from the popular 1975 Steven Spielberg thriller Jaws.

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and i want to go to bed,
Cos i had a little drink about an hour ago,
And its gone right to me head,
No matter where i roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home,
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and i want to go to bed,
Cos i had a little drink about an hour ago,
And its gone right to me head,
No matter where i roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home,
