Imagen
  Canción de 1937 compuesta por Jerome Kern, con letra de Oscar Hammerstein II, para la película  High, Wide and Handsome de Rouben Mamoulian . Aquí  en la versión de Peggy Lee. Letra Someday we'll build a home On a hilltop high, you and I, Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill. And we'll be pleased to be called "The folks who live on the hill." Someday we may be adding A thing or two, a wing or two. We will make changes as any family will. But we will always be called "The folks who live on the hill." Our veranda will command a view of meadows green, The sort of view that seems to want to be seen. And when the kids grow up and leave us, We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two. Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill, The folks like to be called What they have always been called, "The folks who live on the hill."
