Settle-Down in a One-Horse Town - Michael Townsend Wright, Katherine Paulsen, Ирвинг Берлин

I’m getting tired of the glare and light

I’ve had enough of staying out at night

There’s nothing in it, honey, honor bright

I’m through, all through

A little cottage in a One-Horse Town

That’s where I’d like to go and settle down

I’d be as proud as if I wore a crown

If I had you

Come, let’s settle down

In some small country town

Away from all this care and strife

Far, far away from Cabarets

We’ll stay among the Jays

And live the quiet simple life

And from the time the rooster calls

I’ll wear my overalls

And you’ll wear a simple gingham gown

So if you’re strong for a shower of rice

We could make a Paradise

Out of a One-Horse Town

I love the city with its buildings tall

I love apartments with a great big hall

The place you speak of would be much too small

For me, sweetheart

I’d rather live upon Fifth Avenue

The simple life for me would never do

I really couldn’t go away with you

When do we start?
