I love those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Who live in my home town,
Because those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Will never, ever, let you down!
They read the 'Good-Book' from Fri 'till Monday,
That's how the weekend goes!
I've got a 'dream-house' I'll build there one day,
With a picket-fence an' ramblin' rose!
I feel so welcome each time that I return,
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Who live an' love in my home town!
< instrumental break >
I love those people!
< instrumental break >
I love those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Who live in my home town,
Because those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Will never, ever let you down!
They read the 'Good-Book' from Fri 'till Monday,
That's how the weekend goes!
I've got a 'dream-house' I'll build there one day,
With a picket-fence and a ramblin' rose!
< instrumental break >
I love the dear hearts an' gentle people,
Who shout a friendly 'Hi'
When they go passin' by
Who live an' love in my home town!
< instrumental break >
Ah! These are my kinda people!
