Noel Coward, vocal / Ray Noble, conductor – World Weary lyrics

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 a 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 grey or brown
I want an ocean blue
Great big trees
Bird's eye view of the Pyrenees
I want to watch the moon rise up
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 till I see the great open spaces
My loving friends will not be there I'm so sick of their damned 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.
