Mountain Greenery
On the first of May Old Father Adam with sin would grapple So we're entitled to just one apple I mean to make applesauce Underneath the bough We'll learn a lesson from Mister Omar beneath the eyes of no Pa and no Ma Where Lady Nature is boss . . .) And if you're good < orchestral interlude > Simple cooking means . . . I've a banquet planned which is coffee's just as grand, with a little sand . . . eat and you'll grow fatter boy, Where God paints the scenery Just two crazy people together How we love sequestering Where no pets are pestering No dear mama holds us together Mosquitoes here Won't bite you, dear I'll let them sting Me on the finger ( We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery ) Than our mountain greenery home! ( . . . down with city slickin’, up with cows and chickens, down with noise and clutter, up with milk and butter . . .) . . . down with life’s machinery, Bless our mountain greenery home!" ~ from the 1948 M-G-M film "Words and Music" Soundtrack Music by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart, 1926 With Chorus and Orchestra directed by Henri René ![]()
