Many men with
Lofty aims
Strive for lofty goals
Others play at
Smaller games
Being simpler souls
I am of the
Latter brand
All I want to do
Is to find a spot
Of land
And live there
With you
Someday
We'll build a home
On a hill-top high
You and I
Shining and new
A cottage that
Two can fill
And we'll be pleased
To be called
''The folks who
Live on the hill..''
Someday
We may be adding
A thing or two
Wing or two
We will make changes
As any family will
But we will always
Be called
''The folks who
Live on the hill..''
Our verandah
Will command
A view of
Meadows green
The sort of view
That seems to
Want to be seen
And when the kids
Grow up and leave us
We'll sit and look
At the same
Old view
Just we two
Darby and Joan
Who used to be
Jack and Jill
The folks who like
To be called
What they have always
Been called
''The folks who
Live on the hill..''
