Why is everybody always pickin' on me?
"Where you been? Where you been?"
It's the same old question again
What's the use? Baby, what's the use?
They ain't never gonna turn us loose
Well, there's mud all over your face
Oh, your lipstick is way out of place
Are we gonna tell 'em what we told 'em every time before?
Ain't that right?
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come on home
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
Oh, Rudy Day, I don't know
Oh, Kelly, I don't know
If I can keep, honey, from lettin' it show
Well, what's the plan?
Baby, what's the plan?
We got to get on home as fast as we can
Well, your hair is drippin' wet
Oh, your clothes are soakin' wet
But we didn't go skinny dippin' in the cement pond
No, no, no
You're my baby
And you're my man
Aw, but your hair is gettin' to be a mess
And there ain't no berries in your bucket
Well, we'll explain it, honey, the best that we can
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come on home
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
We been busy makin' merry
And pickin' wild mountain berries
