Lyrics
Picked up a pebble and called it a dime
Bought me a book full of nursery rhymes
Like the cow and the fiddle and the man in the moon
There’s peace in the valley and a quiet room
Oh! What the old folks say
Oh! That’s just the way it is
Oh! Do you know what I mean
Let the weavers weave and the dreamers dream
Met a young girl who could dance in time
Built us a house in the countryside
Two hoop gardens and a music room
Quail in the summer sing a lonesome tune
Oh! What the old folks say
Oh! That’s just the way it is
Oh! Do you know what I mean
Let the weavers weave and the dreamers dream
Chicken in the chicken coop up on the hill
She’s chasing chicken ‘till she tripped and fell
Put the pot pie on the windowsill
When the supper’s ready she’ll ring the bell
Oh! What the old folks say
Oh! That’s just the way it is
Oh! Do you know what I mean
Let the weavers weave and the dreamers dream
