Some of them were superstitious sitting with their backs facing the orchard.
B F# B F# B F# B F#
All of them with mittens on, their hands and feet were waiting there for winter.
C#m B B F# B F#
Thousands on the freeze, well I could never join them there.
[Chorus]
Em G#m F# C# Em
And then we dare not bother, but couldn't help but holler "Yeah!"
C# Em G#m F#
There's no use in hiding the joy from the bright blue sun.
C# Em B B F#
I could wait for winter, better if it never comes.
[Verse 2]
B F# B F# B F# B F#
Some of them were superstitious watching them parade around the town square.
B F# B F# B F# B F#
Some of them were praising monocled men simply 'cause they don't know better.

Someone to protect them, someone to keep track of them.
[Chorus]

No, I don't believe them, I would rather holler "Yeah!"

There's no use in hiding the joy from the bright blue sun.
