It’s so peaceful in the country
It’s so simple and quiet
You really ought to try it
You walk about and talk about
The pleasant things in life

It’s so restful in the country
It’s the right kind of diet
You really ought to try it
You lie and dream
Beside a stream
While daisies nod hello

City living is a pretty living
It’s so full of unexpected thrills
But there’s too much stone
Too much telephone
There’s too much of everything 
but trees and hills

It’s so peaceful in the country
It’s so simple and quite
Someday you’re bound to try it
The only place to be
A place for you and me
Where it’s peaceful... in the country
