from the noisy town!
Out to where the sugar cane
Swaps like silver fields of grain
Where the breasts of nature heave
beneath a soft green velvet gown.
In my motor just for two
Meath a sky of inky blue
Where the stars reflect the city lights
a-shining from afar.
1t is just as l expected
l proposed, and you rejected
But I know you'll have me where
drive great big touring car!
