Tomorrow Mountain
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There? s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it? s Christmas everyday
? Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There? s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we? ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies
There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide
Far across Tomorrow Mountain
There? s a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we? ll plant our feet
It? s the land that? s fair to see
Won? t you hurry there with me?
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I? m told are lined with gold
And there ain? t no bills to pay
Can? t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won? t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam
Can? t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can? t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It? s a wonderful town that? s upside down
And it? s full of easy dough
Won? t you pack your bags and go?
There? s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it? s Christmas everyday
? Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There? s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we? ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies
There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide
Far across Tomorrow Mountain
There? s a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we? ll plant our feet
It? s the land that? s fair to see
Won? t you hurry there with me?
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I? m told are lined with gold
And there ain? t no bills to pay
Can? t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won? t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam
Can? t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can? t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It? s a wonderful town that? s upside down
And it? s full of easy dough
Won? t you pack your bags and go?
