Let The Grass Grow 1957 'Free As Air'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Feb 2004

A man can be so busy,
it fairly leaves you dizzy.
As if you were a badger or a bee.
All the big sensational ills are occupational,
like housemaids' knee.
He's filling ev'ry minute
as if his life was in it,
hour after hour whizzes past.
But life is very nice,
and I'd like to give advice
on how to spin it out and make it last.

Let the grass grow under your feet,
till it grows knee deep,
let the bright day amble along,
till it ends in sleep,
a man's life is very quickly over.
Make life last by wandering through the clover
Let the grass grow under your feet,
give it a chance to grow
until it grows knee deep
Give it a chance to grow
until it grows knee deep,
Give it a chance to grow knee deep.

Let the grass grow under your feet,
till it grows waist high,
Let the breezes blow as they will,
Let the day drift by,
A man's life is longer if he lazes.
Make time last
by wandering through the daisies
Let the grass grow under your feet,
Give it a chance to grow until
it grows waist high.
Give it a chance to grow until
it grows waist high,
Give it a chance to grow,
waist high.
