Mountain Greenery Songtext
von Mel Tormé

On the first of May, it is moving day,
Spring is here, so blow your job,
Throw your job away!
Now′s the time to trust,
To your wanderlust,
In the city's dust you wait, must you wait
Just you wait!

In a mountain greenery,
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together.
While you love your lover,
Let blue skies, be your coverlet,
When it rains we′ll laugh at the weather.
And if you're good, I'll search for wood,
So you can cook... while I stand looking
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home!


Simple cooking means
More than French Cuisines
I′ve a banquet planned which is
Sandwiches and beans
Coffee′s just as grand
With a little sand
Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy
′Smatter boy? Huh, huh! 'Atta boy.

In a mountain greenery,
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together.
How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No dear momma holds us in tether
Mosquitoes here,
Won′t bite you dear,
I'll let them sting, me on the finger!
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery,
Far from life′s machinery
Bless our mountain greenery home!
