The Folks Who Live on the Hill
J Kern, O II Hammerstein
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 to
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
