Testo Everything's Okay - Bobby Darin
Testo della canzone Everything's Okay (Bobby Darin), tratta dall'album Earthy
Now I went to the country just the other day
To see my Uncle Bill and pass some time away
I asked how he'd been since last I passed his way
And he rubbed his chin and this is what he had to say
He said, "My wife's been sick and my young'uns too
And I'm darn near down with the Asiamatic flu
The cows gone dry and the hens won't lay
But we're still living so everything's okay"
Said, "The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died
And the bees got mad and they left the hive
The weevils got the corn and the rain got the hay
But we're still living so everything's okay"
Said, "The porch rotted down and that's more expense
The derned old mules tore down the fence
Mortgage is due and I can't pay
But we're still living so everything's okay"
Now the cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
And the dern rabbits they got into the turnip greens
My ma-in-law she just moved in to stay
But we're still living so everything's okay
Now my land's so poor so hard and yellow
You gotta sit on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbrella
And it rains out here just about every day
But we're still living so everything's okay
That well's gone dry and I gotta tote the water
Up from the spring about a mile and a quarter
My helper he quit for the lack of pay
But we're still living so everything's okay
Now the house it leaks and it needs a new top
And every time it rains it wets everything we got
The chimney fell down just the other day
But we're still living so everything's okay
And the cornmeal's gone and the meat's run out
Nothing to kill to put in the smokehouse
The preacher's coming Sunday to spend the day
But we're still living so everything's okay
In fact if things were any better
I'd like to lean me down and die
