The little old lady
sat on the porch
of a farmhouse
The little old lady
rocked back and forth
and crocheted
Oh listen to the crickets
look at the rooster
smell the hay I told her
See the pretty little egg
that the hen just laid
The little old lady
took off her glasses
and squinted
And how she responded
literally had me floored
She said
it's nice to meet someone
who appreciates
The beauty
that nature
initiates
Sweet to hear
but me my dear
I'm truly bored
I miss those
city lights
Those sparkling
city lights
Those twinkling
city lights
luring my eyes
I love those city lights
the colour of city sights
The shine on the
city lights
tinting the skies
A new mown hay
gives me hayfever
There's the rooster
where's my cleaver
So laid back
my mind might crack
And when the
threshers up
my pressures up
City lights
oh I long for those
city lights
The bulbs of those
beaming brights
Beckoning me there
be there
Grime and grit and
pretty city lights
Walking lanes
to pick a daisy
That could drive
a person crazy
Home made bread
lies here like lead
And call these
peach preserves
oh please my nerves
City lights
oh I long for those
city lights
The bulbs of those
beaming brights
Beckoning me there
oh be there
Flies and stables
sure are smelly
Let me sniff some
kosher deli
Brightly lit by
pretty city lights
Cluck your billy
how about it
Let me sally
up some alley
Dimly lit by
pretty city lights
Country air means
zilch to me
I won't breathe nothing
I can't see
So let me wit and hit
those pretty
city lights
Hit them
city
Take me home now
city lights
oh them lights
Fairs and socials
ain't no plusses
I score more on
cross town buses
Brightly lit by
pretty city lights
Hold back mother
and turn back father
Me I'd rather
tramp some gutter
Dimly lit by
pretty city lights
Spot those sales
go on and feel
your powers
Hi just let me plant
my buns down in
Bloomingdales
Yes let me quit
and hit those pretty
city lights
Love them city
dig them lights
