Get some ribbons and lace baby,
Bb Eb Bb Bb Eb Bb
Paint some trailin' vines and dew
You know I'm leavin' LA baby
Don't you know this smog 's got me down
I'm leavin' LA baby
Don't you know this smog has got me down
'm goin' up to the country
Where there ain't no doggone smog around
Well, you got me baby
Sugar let your papa take you by the hand
Well, you be my woman
And I'll be your city-boy, country lovin' man.
I'm gonna move up to the country
Gonna paint my mailbox blue
Move up to the country
Gonna paint, gonna paint, gonna paint, my mailbox blue
Put some flowers on it honey,
Paint some trailin' vines and dew
