Duke Ellington
Tomorrow Mountain
[MACHEATH]
We are trapped in Twilight Alley
There is no place we can run
But I've heard of a wonderful valley
Beyond the rising sun
I've got news of a wonderful valley
Beyond the new rising sun

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There's a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it's Christmas every day

By the scotch and soda fountain
There's a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we'll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies

There you will be a happy sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There's a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we'll plant our feet
It's a land that's fair to see
Won't you travel there with me?
[COZY COOL]
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is queen of the May
All the houses I'm told are made of gold
And there ain't no bills to pay

Won't you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel Number Five?
And the gutters, I think, are lined with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive

[MACHEATH]
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won't you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam

[ALL]
Can't you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can't you see it shimmer and glow?
It's a wonderful town that's upside down
And it's full of easy dough
Let's pack our bags and go

[JENNY, spoken]
Is there a room for me?
[MACHEATH, spoken]
Of course, darling, you know it. 

[JENNY, spoken]
And for your other women?

[MACHEATH, spoken]
Oh, don't spoil it, Jenny. 

[JENNY, spoken]
You spoil it, Mac. 

[MACHEATH, spoken]
Oh, Jenny, Jenny. You know that I love you. 

[JENNY, spoken]
Get out, Captain Macheath!

[MACHEATH, spoken]
Oh, you're the greatest, Jenny. It's not the end. It's not the end. 

[ALL]
Can't you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can't you see it shimmer and glow?
It's a wonderful town that's upside down
And it's full of easy dough
Let's pack our bags and go
