WE'LL MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES
Milton De Lugg (m) Bob Hilliard (l)
Bing Crosby w Lennie Hayton & his Orch

Sam Browne w Billy Merrin & his Commanders
I'm tired of all the hurry
Of modern city ways.
I'm tired of all the worry
Of those city days.
I'm through with all the riot
Of glaring city lights,
Give me the gorgeous quiet
Of those country nights.
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes,
We'll make hay while the sun shines,
We'll make love when it rains.
Take me where the songbirds
Thrill you with sweet refrains,
We'll make hay while the sun shines,
We'll make love when it rains.
>From the hustle and the bustle of the city,
We'll become country folks,
And in a little cottage, sittin' pretty,
We'll become Mr and Mrs Doakes.
Oh, will you take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes?
We'll make hay while the sun shines,
We'll make love when it rains.
>From the hustle and the bustle of the city,
We'll become a pair of country folks,
And in that little cottage, sittin' pretty,
We'll become Mr and Mrs Doakes.
Oh, will you take me where those daisies
Cover the country lanes?
We'll make hay while the sun shines,
We'll make love when it rains.
