..........and many others.
I have been a rover since I was a child
No one to love or care for me
Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild
My home's wherever I may be
Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be
I'm gone, but no one's missin' me
Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me
I'm like a bird that's flyin' free
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes me a bed
I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze
(Orchestral Interlude)
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
I'm trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees
I'm pleasin' to live and livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes me a bed
I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze

As performed by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in the 1953 film "The
Long, Long, Trailer":
LUCY: Ummmm, just breezin' along with the breeze DESI: Breezin'
along
LUCY: Trailin' the trails DESI: Trailin' the trails
LUCY: Roamin' the seas DESI: A-trailin' and a-roamin'
DESI: Like the birdies that sing in the trees LUCY: Tweet tweet
tweet
DESI: Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
LUCY: The sky is the only roof I have over my head
DESI: And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes me a bed LUCY: In the
trailer
BOTH:
We're just goin' along as we please
Breezin' along with the breeze
