Mountain Greenery

Mountain Greenery - 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 our 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

S'matter boy Hah-huh Atta boy

In a mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy people together

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
