The sun shines down on   This world of fools   The heartless, the reckless   The thoughtless, the cruel      The fools like us   Who had it made   If you need to find me   I'll be in the shade      Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade   Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade      I'm moving to blue mountain   I'm leaving at six A.M.   I'm moving to blue mountain   To join a marching band      Loving the sun   Will burn you up in the end   I've come to my senses   I won't get burned again      Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade   Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade      And if one day you want to   Put flowers on my grave   You'll know where to find me   I'll be in the shade      Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade   Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade      Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade   Where it's cool, cool, cool   I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)      I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)   I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)   I'll be in the shade   (I'll be in the shade)
