World Weary (Las Vegas 1955) - Noel Coward

When I'm feeling weary and blue I'm only too

Glad to be left alone

Dreaming of a place in the sun when day is done

Far from a telephone

Hardly ever see the sky

Buildings seem to grow so high

Give me somewhere peaceful and grand

Where all the land

Slumbers in monotone

I'm world weary world weary living in a great big town

I find it so dreary so dreary

Everything looks grey or brown

I want an ocean blue

Great big trees

Bird's eye view of the pyrenees

I wanna watch the moon rise up

See the great red sun go down

Watching clouds go by through a windy sky fascinates me

But if I do it in the street

Every cop I meet simply hates me

Because I'm world weary world weary

Tired of all these jumping jacks

I wanna get right back to nature and relax

I'm world weary world weary living in a great big town

I find it so dreary so dreary

Everything looks grey or brown

I want a horse and plow chickens too

Just one cow with a wistful moon

A country where the verb to work

Becomes a most improper noun

I can hardly wait till I see the great open spaces

My loving friends will not be

There I'm so sick of their d*mned fool faces

Because I'm world weary world weary

I could kiss the railroad tracks

I wanna get right back to nature

Assume a horizontal stature

I wanna get right back to nature and relax
