Fitzgerald, Ella - Mountain Greenery Lyrics
On the first of May, it is moving day,
Spring is here, so blow your job,
Throw your job away!
Now's the time to trust,
In the city's dust you wait, must you wait
Just you wait.......!
In a mountain greenery,
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together.
While you love your lover,
Let blue skies, be your cover-let,
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather.
And if you're good,
I'll search for wood,
So you can cook... while I stand look-in'
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home!
Mosquitoes here,
Won't bite you dear,
I'll let them sting, me on the finger!
We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery
Then our mountain greenery home.

Fitzgerald, Ella Mountain Greenery Comments
great song. words and lyrics. That piano makes me go crazy.
If you like that piano, check out Bobby Darin's recording of Beyond the Sea...
Excellent! For some weird reason, this song has been going through my mind for the last several days, I have no idea why, but I was trying to remember how "beanery" was involved, and now I know. Wonderfully unique lyrics indeed. Thanks Ella!
I pay homage to the writers and singer of this song....!!!!
Lorenz Hart, probably the greatest lyricist alongside Ira Gershwin. It just doesn't get any better than this. Add the incomparable Ella - WOW!
Those rhymes~ the split word and counts. The funky meter
"Beans don't get keener reception in a beanery, bless our mountain scenery home."
Brilliant lyric and Ella ain't bad at trilling this tune.
A great old song by a wonderful recording artist.who has been largely forgotten.
hardly forgotten.
@Jim Meale Who?
are you nuts? No one has forgotten Ella
