THE GREAT GREEN HAPPY MOUNTAINS

One morning as the sun came up
And the garden birds were singing
Down the road came a busker playing
And he said: People, are you listening?
I'm headed for a land that's far away where money isn’t counted
So come with me, we'll go and see the Great Green Happy Mountains

In the Great Green Happy Mountains there's a land that's clean and bright
Where the neighbours smile and greet you and you sleep well every night
Where the highways all are empty and the sun shines every day
On the bugs and the bees and the tofu trees
The ginger beer springs where the nightingale sings
In the Great Green Happy Mountains

In the Great Green Happy Mountains all the taxmen are out of work
And the bankers have no money and the lawyers do not lurk
The fields are full of organic veg and the barrels full of ale
Oh I'm bound to go where to a place I know
Where the views are panoramic and the rent is low
In the Great Green Happy Mountains

In the Great Green Happy Mountains the rivers flow with wine
And no one wears a watch because they all have so much time
The politicians grovel and the media tells the truth
There's a lake of hot soup and of curry too
You can paddle all around them in a big canoe
In the Great Green Happy Mountains

In the Great Green Happy Mountains employment is a sin
And you can clock right out again as soon as you clock in
There ain't no direct debits, no ring tones or big bills
So I'm gonna be where in a land that's free
Where there ain’t no ASBOs or CCTV
In the Great Green Happy Mountains

So I'll see you very soon before the next full moon
In the Great Green Happy Mountains
