Mountain Greenery

Mel Torme

verse 1 On the first of May it's a 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 blues 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! verse 2 Simple cooking means more than French cuisines I've a banquet planned which is sandwi-ches and beans Coffee's just as grand with a little sand Eat and you'll grow fatter boy – s'matter boy? Atta boy! INTERLUDE When the world was young Old Father Adam with sin would grapple So we're entitled to just one apple - I mean to make apple sauce Underneath the bough We'll take a lesson from Mister Omar beneath the eyes on no Pa and no Ma Where Mother Nature is boss Washing dishes, Catching fishes by the running stream We'll curse the smell of citronella even while we dream. Your head upon the ground, your downy pillow is just a boulder You'll have new dimples 'fore I'm older but life is peaches and cream In a mountain greenery where God paints the scenery just two crazy people together. How we love sequestering where no pests are pestering No dear ma-ma holds us in tether. Mosquitoes here won't bite you, dear I'll let them sting me on my fin-ger We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery Than our mountain greenery where God paints the scenery Bless our mountain greenery home
