Lyrics On The Improve - John Williamson

On The Improve

There’s gonna be some wheat around this year
The little town is smiling from ear to ear
It’ll go a ton with no more rain
And farmers will go shopping again
Mary’s got her eye on a dress
She’ll throw out some shoes
Her wardrobe is a mess
And Jack deserves a new John Deere
Yeah, things are on the improve out here
Hey it’s good to see the country people smiling
Old Henry at the general store
Bought himself a ticket to Bali
And traded in the Commodore
The butcher and the cute beautician
The barber and the auctioneer
Reckon that their town is moving
Yeah, things are on the improve out here
A crying shame for young Ned
He just couldn’t wait — he might’ve got ahead
They sold him up before the rain
We wonder if he’ll try again
New boots and new overalls
The shops will sell some hats
And paint to paint the walls
We’ll see a lot of brand new gates
And watch 'em raise the council rates
Hey it’s good to see the country people smiling
Old Henry at the general store
Bought himself a ticket to Bali
And traded in the Commodore
The butcher and the cute beautician
The barber and the auctioneer
Reckon that their town is moving
Yeah, things are on the improve out here
Hey it’s good to see the country people smiling
Old Henry at the general store
Bought himself a ticket to Bali
And traded in the Commodore
The butcher and the cute beautician
The barber and the auctioneer
Reckon that their town is moving
Yeah, things are on the improve out here
Yeah, things are on the improoooove out heeeere
