Seven Wonders
[BRENDA, spoken]
Frank, why me?
I'm just ordinary

[FRANK JR., spoken]
Ordinary is beautiful
I don't need Paris
I don't need a fancy restaurant or a huge orchestra
Just some subtle orchestrations

(singing)
I've seen the seven wonders
If you give or take a few
But all them seven wonders, well
They can't compare to you
I've been a lot of places
Yes, I've traveled near and far
But now I know that home is where you are

Niagara Falls, a leaky faucet-

[BRENDA, spoken]
What?

[FRANK JR.]
Yeah - that a plumber oughta fix
The Pyramids?
[BRENDA, spoken]
Uh-huh?

[FRANK JR.]
Are really just
A dusty pile of bricks

[BRENDA, spoken]
Really...

[FRANK JR.]
The Taj Mahal, a fixer upper
The Grand Canyon, just a hole

[BRENDA, spoken]
Oh no

[FRANK JR.]
The Grand Canal in Venice
An Italian toilet bowl

[BRENDA, spoken]
That's wrong

[FRANK JR.]
I've seen the seven wonders
If you give or take a few
But all them seven wonders, well
They can't compare to you
I've been a lot of places
Yes, I've traveled near and far
But now I know that home is where you are
[BRENDA, spoken]
Okay...

[BRENDA]
The Aurora Borealis?

[FRANK, JR.]
Just a nightlight on the fritz

[BRENDA]
And Stonehenge? -

[FRANK, JR.]
- Is just a bunch of rocks

[BRENDA]
La Brea's tar?

[FRANK, JR.]
The pits!

[BRENDA]
How 'bout the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

[FRANK, JR.]
Looks like something up and broke
[BRENDA]
Mount Rushmore?

[FRANK, JR.]
Someone climb up there and tell them boys a joke

[BOTH]
Yes, my traveling days are over
Get the check, I'll pay the bill
'Cause I see all the wonders in your eyes
Just standing still

[FRANK JR., spoken]
The clock's ticking, Brenda
I can't, I- I don't wanna be a doctor forever
I wanna make a home: with you

(singing)
I've been a lot of places
But I've learned now, near and far
There's no need to roam
Cause home is where you are

[BRENDA]
There's no need to roam
Cause home is where you are

[FRANK JR.]
Yes, now I know that

[BOTH]
Home is where you are
