i look in vain
down every lonely street
i talk of you
to every one i meet
i wander here and there
looking everywhere
but you are gone from me
and i’m left at sea
to call your name
and search each passing phase
for your lost smile
your sudden tender grace
though friends all say
there’s nothing to do about you
my heart can’t rest ’til i find you

to call your name
and search each passing phase
for your lost smile
your sudden tender grace
though friends all say
there’s nothing to do about you
my heart can’t rest ’til i find you

oh there’s nothing as gay as a day in the country
under the wonderful skies
for a city bred feller a field of yeller
is quite a delightful surprise

oh you don’t have to pay for a day in the country
it’s old mother nature who buys
and while we keep going the breezes are blowing
the cigarette smoke from our eyes

you’ll hear beautiful melodies played by an old water mill
and a little red barn is spinning a yarn to the daffodils up on the hill
oh there’s nothing as gay as a day in the country
far from the maddening throng
a hobo hobnobbing with bluebird and robin
we warble a merry old song
and go rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along

(oh there’s nothing as gay as a day in the country)
(under the wonderful skies)
(for a city bred feller a field of yeller)
(is quite a delightful surprise)

(oh you don’t have to pay for a day in the country)
(it’s old mother nature who buys)
(and while we keep going the breezes keep blowing)
(the cigarette smoke from our eyes)

how i envy the fellas that live by a shady old nook
and cute little guy who’s casting a fly at a trout leaping out of a brook
oh there’s nothing as gay as a day in the country
far from the maddening throng
just grab a valise full and go where it’s peaceful
and try vocalizing a song
(both) while you’re rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along

the world looks rosy op on sweetheart hill
for a girl named mary and a boy named bill

com’on get cozy says the whooperwill
to a girl named mary and a boy named bill

where there’s a sky that’s full of moonlight
and a mary full of charm
there ought to be a william
snuggled in her arms

so if i kiss you and i think i will
believe me it’s the only thing to do
for you’re my mary and i’m your bill
and it’s wonderful to be in love with you

for you’re my mary and i’m your bill
and it’s wonderful to be in love with you

don’t save your kisses just pass them around
you’ll find my reason is logically sound
who’s gonna know that you passed them around
a hundred years from today

why crave a penthouse that’s fit for a queen
you’re nearer heaven on mother earth’s green
if you had millions what would they all mean
a hundred years from today

so laugh and sing
make love the thing
be happy while you may
there’s always one
beneath the sun who’s bound to make you feel that way

the moon is shining and that’s a good sign
cling to me closer and say you’ll be mine
remember darling we won’t see it shine
a hundred years from today
a hundred years from today

the moon is shining and that’s a good sign
cling to me closer and say you’ll be mine
remember darling we won’t see it shine
a hundred years from today
a hundred years from today

today
today

it’s a marshmallow world in the winter
when the snow comes to cover the ground
it’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day
i wait for it the whole year round.

those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
in the arms of the evergreen trees
and the sun is red like a pumpkin head
it’s shining so your nose wont freeze.

the world is your snowball, see how it grows
thats how it goes whenever it snows
the world is your snowball just for a song
get out and roll it along

it’s a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
take a walk with your favorite girl
it’s a sugar date, what if spring is late
in winter it’s a marshmallow world.
