My boy back home

My boy back home is a very fine boy
A very fine boy is he
Self-sufficient, hard-working, tidy and kind
As very fine boys all should be.

My boy back home doesn't mind it alone
Not a lonely young man is he
He call once a day and I'm not in his way
He asks almost nothing from me.

My boy back home has a very fine nose
As the grindstone has polished it down
It gets stuck in the books, on the screen where he looks
But beyond it, there's nothing around.

My boy back home likes it neat as a pin
Not an article left out of place
And my boxes and me were sent delivery
So my neat boy would have enough space.

My boy back home's not the travelling type
He still hasn't visited me
And my boy back home's got a long way to go
If he wants to hold on to me.
