Let's call this part of a series on music theory. The first, Circle of Fifths, demonstrates the chord progression by the same name. This demonstrates some of the chords by their names within the key.
The lyrics are nothing short of spectacular.

I'm singing on the tonic chord in the key of G
I'm singing on the sub-dominant chord in the key of G
I'm singing on the dominant chord in the key of G
Then I evade the cadence by going to the sub-mediant
Then back to the dominant
Dominant seven and home
I'm going home I'm going home
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
Let's do it again
I'm singing on the tonic chord in the key of G
I'm singing on the sub-dominant chord in the key of G
I'm singing on the dominant chord in the key of G
Then I evade the cadence by going to the sub-mediant
Then back to the dominant
Dominant seven and home
I'm going home I'm going home
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
I'm going home
