The Folks Who Live on the Hill |
| 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 hilltop 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 veranda 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 being called |
| What they have always been called |
| The folks who live on the hill |
