Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking' bout living in the country free
Ain't it pretty outside the city
Outside the city where the sweetcorn grows
Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking 'bout living in the country free
Breezes a-blowing, creek bed's a-flowing
Mama's in the kitchen, just a-cooking up stew
Sis' in the tater patch digging them potatoes
I'm on the back porch humming my tune
Ain't it pretty outside the city
Outside the city where the sweetcorn grows
Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking 'bout living in the country free
Ain't it pretty outside the city
Outside the city where the sweetcorn grows
Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking 'bout living in the country free
Ain't it a sweet dream looking out your window
Cabbage in the garden when the day's work's done
Berries on the bushes just ripe for picking
I'm on the back porch picking my song
Ain't it pretty outside the city
Outside the city where the sweetcorn grows
Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking 'bout living in the country free
Ain't it pretty outside the city
Outside the city where the sweetcorn grows
Ain't it a pity we're still in the city
Talking 'bout living in the country free
