Lazy Countryside [song lyrics]

Song lyrics to Lazy Countryside (1947) Written by Bobby Worth, Performed by Dinah Shore in Walt Disney’s 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
Keep 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.

[instrumental]

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.
