Lena Horne - Tomorrow Mountain lyrics
Your rating:
Just across Tomorrow Mountain There’s a happy city, they say Where the people are grand and time is planned So it’s Christmas everyday ‘Neath the scotch and soda fountain There’s a treat in store for us guys Under cigarette trees, we’ll take our ease While the cops fan off the flies There you will be a lucky sinner With no conscience for your guide Each horse you pick will be a winner And the doors of every bank are open wide Far across Tomorrow Mountain There’s a life that's fancy and free On a platinum street we’ll plant our feet It’s the land that’s fair to see Won’t you hurry there with me? Just across Tomorrow Mountain Every girl is Queen of the May And the kitchens, I’m told are lined with gold And there ain’t no bills to pay Can’t you cross that distant mountain Where it rains Chanel No.5? And the gutters, I think are paved with mink And the diamond bushes thrive Pigs trot around already roasted Won’t you have a slice of ham? Marshmallows bloom, already toasted And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam Can’t you see Tomorrow Mountain? Can’t you watch it glimmer and glow? It’s a wonderful town that’s upside down And it’s full of easy dough Won’t you pack your bags and go?
