There's gonna be some wheat around this year 
The little town is smiling from ear to ear 
It'll go a ton with no more rain 
And farmers will go shopping again 

Mary's got her eye on a dress 
She'll throw out some shoes 
Her wardrobe is a mess 
And Jack deserves a new John Deere 
Yeah, things are on the improve out here 

Hey it's good to see the country people smiling 
Old Henry at the general store 
Bought himself a ticket to Bali 
And traded in the Commodore 
The butcher and the cute beautician 
The barber and the auctioneer 
Reckon that their town is moving 
Yeah, things are on the improve out here 

A crying shame for young Ned 
He just couldn't wait - he might've got ahead 
They sold him up before the rain 
We wonder if he'll try again 

New boots and new overalls 
The shops will sell some hats 
And paint to paint the walls 
We'll see a lot of brand new gates 
And watch 'em raise the council rates
