Lyrics
Between the big trees
The flowers and the green grass
The house is there
It's white and brown
And covered
With green vine
Which looks like hair
We call it The South
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years
And we like to stay there
So many children are playing in the garden
So many dogs
There is a cat and a turtle and an old well
But not a frog
We call it The South
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years
And we like to stay there
Di-di, di-di-di, di-di-di-di
Di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di
Di-di, di-di-di
Di-di-di-di, di-di, di-di-di-di-di-di
Di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di, di-di
Di-di-di-di, di-di, di
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I know one day I will have to leave the sweet life
Back to the dark
Don't really care but they won't ask my opinion
As a matter of fact
I hope it's The South
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years
And we like to stay there
