The First Thing You Know Lyricsby Lee Marvin. From Paint Your Wagon The First Thing You Know by Lee Marvin God made the mountains God made the sky God made the people God knows why He fixed up the planet As best as He could Then in come the people And gum it up good The first thing you know They civilized the foothills And everywhere He put hills The mountains and valley below They come along and take 'em And civilize and make 'em A place where no civilized Person would go The first thing you know The first thing you know They civilize what's pretty By puttin' up a city Where nothin' that's Pretty can grow They muddy up the winter And civilize it into A place too uncivilized Even for snow The first thing you know They civilize left They civilize right Till nothing is left Till nothing is right They civilize freedom Till no one is free No one except By coincidence, me The first thing you know The boozer's in prison And the criminally isn't And only the rascals have dough When I see a parson I gotta put my arse in A wagon that follows the tail of a crow The first thing you know I pick up a blow! The first thing you know [Thanks to kathy for corrections]
