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 Where 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 (do-do) In the country (do-do) It's so simple and quite Someday you're bound to try it The only place to be Is a place for you and me Where it's peaceful in the country The skyline of New York is a splendid sight I know Chicago's loop is magical at night The natives of Cleveland from Frisco and Boston And natives of cities a stranger gets lost in All of them claim that their city's the best From deep in the south and from out in the west Perhaps it's all true but from my point of view It's so peaceful in the country (It's so simple and quiet) Someday you're bound to try it The only place to be Is a place for you and me Where it's peaceful in the country
