Lunch Break Video: “Green Acres” is the place to be … farm livin’ is the life for me!

I was quite amused by my pal, city boy Kenneth Walsh of Kennethinthe212 fame, and his funny Twitter and Facebook updates from his weekend in the country.

At one point, people started putting the lyrics to the theme song of Green Acres in his comments section then, of course, I could not get it out of my head for the rest of the day.

What a great theme song and what an inspired pairing of Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert. Here is the theme song plus a mini episode from the show. After the clip, I have provided the lyrics to the theme song so you can sing it all day too!

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

…The chores.
…The stores.
…Fresh air.
…Times Square

You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.
