Comparing the country and the city.
                                  In the city the lights shine bright,
                                  Making the buildings a glorious sight.
                                  The sound is exciting when you walk
                                            down the street,
                                  Never knowing what people you'll just
                                            happen to meet.

                                  In the country, however,
                                  There's peace all around.
                                  Except for the animals,
                                  Making animal sounds.
                                  Trees stand around little huts in the
                                            forest,
                                  Where people get visits from peace-
                                            seeking tourists.

                                  Country and city are as different in smell,
                                  As they are in sound and sights as well.
                                  And though excitement goes riding
                                            through town,
                                  To a farmer, nothing's more exciting
                                            than a big carrot mound.
