Folks Who Live On The Hill Lyrics by Bette Midler
Album : Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls
I am of the latter brand, all I want to do
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you

Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high, you and I
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'

Someday we may be adding a thing or two, a wing or two
We will make changes as any family will
But we will always be called
'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
And when the kids grow up and leave us
We'll sit and look at the same old view just we two

Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called
'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'
Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals   Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls   I am of the latter brand, all I want to do   Is to find a spot of land and live there with you      Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high, you and I   Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill   And we'll be pleased to be called   'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'      Someday we may be adding a thing or two, a wing or two   We will make changes as any family will   But we will always be called   'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'      Our veranda will command a view of meadows green   The sort of view that seems to want to be seen   And when the kids grow up and leave us   We'll sit and look at the same old view just we two      Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill   The folks like to be called   What they have always been called   'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'
