When I'm feeling weary and blue
I'm only too glad to be left alone
Dreaming of a place in the sun
When day is done
Far from the telephone
Hardly ever see the sky
Buildings seem to grow so high
Give me somewhere peaceful and grand
Where all the land
Slumbers in monotone
I'm world weary
World weary
Living in a great big town
I find it so dreary
So dreary
Everything looks gray or brown
I want an ocean blue
Great big trees
A bird's eye view
Of the Pyrenees
I want to watch the moon rise up
And see the great red sun go down
Watching clouds go by
Through a windy sky
Fascinates me
But if I do it in the street
Every cop I meet simply hates me
Because I'm world weary
World weary
Tired of all these jumping jacks
I long to get right back
To nature and relax
I want a horse and plow
Chickens too
Just one cow
With a wistful moo
I can hardly wait
'Til I see the great
Open spaces
My loving friends will not be there
I'm so sick of their
Damn fool faces
Because I'm world weary
World weary
Tired of all these jumping jacks
I want to get right back
To nature and relax
