Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country Under the wonderful skies For a city bred feller a field of yeller Is quite a delightful surprise Oh you don't have to pay for a day in the country It's old mother nature who buys And while we keep going the breezes are blowing The cigarette smoke from our eyes You'll hear beautiful melodies played by an old water mill And a little red barn is spinning a yarn to the daffodils up on the hill Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country Far from the maddening throng A hobo hobnobbing with bluebird and robin We warble a merry old song And go rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along (Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country) (Under the wonderful skies) (For a city bred feller a field of yeller) (Is quite a delightful surprise) (Oh you don't have to pay for a day in the country) (It's old mother nature who buys) (And while we keep going the breezes keep blowing) (The cigarette smoke from our eyes) How I envy the fellas that live by a shady old nook And cute little guy who's casting a fly at a trout leaping out of a brook Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country Far from the maddening throng Just grab a valise full and go where it's peaceful And try vocalizing a song (Both) While you're rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along
