Sun’s comin’ over the deadwood
Sun’s shinin’ through my cherry tree
Goldcap on top of the hedgerow
Tulips just as proud as they can be
Sun’s comin’ over my rooftop
Sun’s shinin’ on my neighbour’s car
Shadows five feet long now look twenty
I should be rakin’ but I haven’t moved too far
Chorus:
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
It’s the prettiest thing that you have ever seen
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
Birds are settlin’ in for the evenin’
Rabbits are nibblin’ on the grass
Gophers runnin’ round in the garden
Sun’t goin’ down I hope it doesn’t go to fast
Chorus
Lead
Oh there’s no place that I would rather be
In the evenin’ hour
Why don’t you come over and do nothin’ with me
We’ll watch the sun go down
We’ll watch the sun go down
Chorus:
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
It’s the prettiest thing that you have ever seen
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Wavin’ to my neighbour cross the street
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Mister don’t you wish that you was
Mister don’t you wish that you was
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
