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...
Shiny 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,
A 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 that
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"...
