Lyrics John Williamson

John Williamson

On the Improve

There's gonna be some wheat around this year

The little town is smiling from ear to ear

It'll go a ton with no more rain

And farmers will go shopping again

Mary's got her eye on a dress

She'll throw out some shoes

Her wardrobe is a mess

And Jack deserves a new John Deere

Yeah, things are on the improve out here

Hey it's good to see the country people smiling

Old Henry at the general store

Bought himself a ticket to Bali

And traded in the Commodore

The butcher and the cute beautician

The barber and the auctioneer

Reckon that their town is moving

Yeah, things are on the improve out here

A crying shame for young Ned

He just couldn't wait - he might've got ahead

They sold him up before the rain

We wonder if he'll try again

New boots and new overalls

The shops will sell some hats

And paint to paint the walls

We'll see a lot of brand new gates

And watch 'em raise the council rates

Hey it's good to see the country people smiling

Old Henry at the general store

Bought himself a ticket to Bali

And traded in the Commodore

The butcher and the cute beautician

The barber and the auctioneer

Reckon that their town is moving

Yeah, things are on the improve out here

Hey it's good to see the country people smiling

Old Henry at the general store

Bought himself a ticket to Bali

And traded in the Commodore

The butcher and the cute beautician

The barber and the auctioneer

Reckon that their town is moving

Yeah, things are on the improve out here

Yeah, things are on the improoooove out heeeere
