[NELLIE & FLOYD]

[NELLIE & FLOYD]
Welcome home

[FLOYD, spoken]
I done missed you, Nell
Worried about you at the asylum

[NELLIE, spoken]
But you were right there beside me, Floyd
Just like I been with you

[NELLIE]
Some people go place to place
Some people go underground
Some gotta go crazy like
I just journey in
And that is where I've been

We all go somewhere
And that's how we get along
If folks just don't understand it
Why, that ain't nothin' wrong

You and me, we follow a sound
That is whistlin' around in the air
Since Mama's gone, we heard it callin'

And it's kind of restful
When you see that you're not alone
We're finally together
Here in the unknown

We're always wanderin' and wantin' to know
Why we are what we are
We always have the whistlin' question
And there ain't an answer but only the askin' forever

[HOMER, spoken]
Ah-oogah, ah-oogah!

[FLOYD, spoken]
Homer!

[HOMER]
Time to go

[FLOYD, spoken]
Where're we goin'?

[HOMER]
Y'all hop in my shiny automobile

[FLOYD, spoken]
Hot damn, she's a beauty-beaut

[HOMER]
'Cause you gotta be there for your opening day

[FLOYD, spoken]
What openin' day?

[NELLIE]
We moved the rocks

[FLOYD, spoken]
We did?

[HOMER]
And made some trails

[NELLIE & HOMER]
And smoothed the floors
And built the stairs
We set up some big signs out on the road

[NELLIE]
There's a ticket office

[HOMER]
And a curio shop

[NELLIE, HOMER & FLOYD]
And refreshment stand, open seven days a week

[HOMER & FLOYD]
