The Lazy Countryside From "Fun and Fancy Free" I love to hang around The lazy countryside Where things are nice and breezy With nature's gang around The lazy countryside Where life is twice as easy Where the crickets you don't hear in the city Kepp a-hummin' in your ear, oh, so pretty And it's just too much for words Listenin' to the chorus of the birds I like to stay around The lazy countryside And while away the hours Just kind of play around The lazy countryside As free as bees and flowers There's more fun in takin' the sun in And to roam the spaces wide It's the place for me Gee, but it's great to be 'Round the lazy countryside There's more fun in takin' the sun in And to roam the spaces wide It's the place for me Gee, but it's great to be 'Round the lazy countryside
