The weather is spectacular!
We're off on our way, what a beautiful day!
With riotous laughter we quietly suffer
The season in town, which is reason enough for
A weekend in the country. How amusing, how delightfully droll.
A weekend in the country, while we're losing our control.
A weekend in the country, how enchanting, on the manicured lawns.
A weekend in the country, with the panting and the yawns.
With the crickets and the pheasants and the orchards and the hay,
With the servants and the peasants,
We'll be laying our plans while we're playing croquet
For a weekend in the country, so inactive that one has to lie down.
A weekend in the country where--
We're twice as upset as in Town!
