Where you been? Where you been?
It's that same old question again
What's the use baby, what's the use?
They ain't gonna turn us loose

You got dirt all over your face
And your lipstick is way out of place
Are we gonna tell 'em what we told 'em
Every time before?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries

We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
Cause we've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries

I don't know, I don't know
If I can keep from lettin' it show
What's my plan, now tell me what's my plan?
You know they won't understand

You know my hair is a drippin' wet
Well, and my clothes are soakin' wet
And we didn't go
Swimmin' in a cement pond

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries

We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
Cause we've been busy makin' merries
Whoa, and pickin' wild mountain berries

They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries

We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
Cause we've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries
