Ten Little Miles From Town 1938 Carroll Gibbons

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 May 2002

Can't give you rings,
diamonds and things,
Altho' I'd love to, dear;
Park Avenue rents or social events
We can't afford.
Don't need a lot, with all we've got.
We'll find contentment here
We'll get by, you and I.

One little mile from the railroad station
We're gonna settle down,
Far from the roar of the population
Ten Little Miles from Town.
Five little miles from the nearest neighbour,
Dressed in my dressing gown
I'll find a kiss for my daily labour
Ten little miles from town.
Just you and I make two
And two is company
Who cares? we're millionaires
As long as we've got "We."
We'll 'phone the stork for a tiny boarder
After a year rolls roun',
We'll tell the stork he can drop our order
Ten little miles from town.

One little mile from the railroad station
We're gonna settle down,
Far from the roar of the population
Ten Little Miles from Town.
Five little miles from the nearest neighbour,
I'll wear a simple gown
You'll get a kiss for your daily labour
Ten little miles from town.
No fuss, just two of us
And two is company
Who cares? we're millionaires
As long as we've got "We."
We'll 'phone the stork for a tiny boarder
After a year rolls roun',
We'll tell the stork he can drop our order
Ten little miles from town.
