Jessie Matthews - Silly Little Hill

By steadily avoiding
Anything that's rash
We can try to save up
A little bit of cash

We didn't buy a motorcar
As others might have done
Unlike the rest we invested
In a property designed to give us fun

Sitting beside you
On a silly little hill
I never could be bored of it

Sitting beside you
There's a silly little thrill I'm getting
What will happen next?

Though it meant a lot of sacrifice
At last we got our paradise
In this hill that we -

And I bet at sunset
Even later I'll still be sitting beside you
On a silly little hill

Whenever our relations
Seem likely to appear
Taking luncheon with us
We sit away out here

Now ham and cakes combine to make
A meal that's rather quaint
And brandy too can be useful
If you happen to be feeling slightly faint

Sitting beside you
On a silly little hill
The lazy days are far too short

Sitting beside you
I forget a little bit bout all the silly things you bought
There's no fishing there's no shooting here
And no cyclist fresh from tooting here
-

And this year and next year
And even later I'll still be sitting beside you
On a silly little hill
