In the

You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the

Have a
[A#] drink, have a drive,
[G#] go out and see what you can
[D#] find

If her

If her daddy's poor, just do as you feel
Speed a-
[G#]-long the land, do a ton, or a ton and twenty-
[D#]-five
When the
[A#] sun goes down, you can
[G#] make it, make it good in a lay-
[D#]-by
VERSE 3:
We're not
[D#] grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we think
When the
[G#] weather is fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the
[D#] sea
We're always
[A#] happy, live's for
[G#] living, yeah, that's our philoso-
[D#]-phy

VERSE 5:
When the
[D#] winter's here, then it's party time
Bring a bottle, wear you're bright clothes, It'll soon be summertime
And we'll
[G#] sing again, we'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle
[D#] down
If she's
[A#] rich, if she's nice, bring you're
[G#] friends and we'll all go into
[D#] town
