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 plot 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 like to be called
What they have always been called
The folks who live on the hill
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 plot 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 like to be called
What they have always been called
The folks who live on the hill
