and We'll Be Happy Then,
When it rains because we want it to-
Gets warm because we like;
When we order all our blizzards-
Tell the lightning where to strike;
The world will be a jolly world
To all the maids and men;
With life a song the whole day long,
And we'll be happy then!
When crops grow of their own accord,
Without a plow or hoe;
When bill collectors cease to bring
The lengthy bills we owe;
The world will be a jolly world
To all the maids and men;
And birds will sing and cash will ring
And we'll be happy then!
-Atlanta Constitution.
