The sun shines down on
This world of fools
The heartless, the reckless
The thoughtless, the cruel
The fools like us
Who had it made
If you need to find me
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
I'm moving to blue mountain
I'm leaving at six A.M.
I'm moving to blue mountain
To join a marching band
Loving the sun
Will burn you up in the end
I've come to my senses
I won't get burned again
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
And if one day you want to
Put flowers on my grave
You'll know where to find me
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade
Where it's cool, cool, cool
I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)
I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)
I'll be in the shade (blue mountain)
I'll be in the shade
(I'll be in the shade)
