"A Quiet Life in the Country"
Gerry:
People always say,
“Why don’t you go out more to play?”
But I just want a quiet life
In the country.
While others make contacts,
I want to stay in and relax
And stay right here, my quiet life
In the country.
I’m happy on my own,
Don’t even need a phone
I’ve everything I need,
I’m quite content.
I’ll be in bed by half past ten,
Jim Jams on and a cup of cocoa
Not for me the City life,
Won’t catch me going Coco-loco!
Grayson and Mary:
We worry everyday,
That he just locks himself away
But he just wants a quiet life
In the country.
He hardly sees his friends
It’s on us that he depends
Just to maintain a quiet life
In the country.
He’s happy on his own,
Won’t even let us get a phone
He has everything he needs,
He’s quite content
He’s up in bed by half past ten,
Jim Jams on and a cup of cocoa
Not for him the City life,
Won’t catch him going Coco-loco!
People always say,
“Why don’t you go out more to play?
WE ALWAYS SAY!
But I just want a quiet life
In the country
WHY DON'T YOU GO OUT MORE?
While others make contacts,
I want to stay in and relax
YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE FRIENDS!
And stay right here, my quiet life
In the country.
I’m happy on my own,
Don’t even need a phone
HE'S NOT HAPPY!
I’ve everything I need,
I’m quite content.
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SAD?
I’ll be in bed by half past ten,
Jim Jams on and a cup of cocoa
Not for me the City life,
Won’t catch me going Coco-loco!
Oh No!
