Somewhere down in the city there's a mad dog madder

Somewhere out in the sticks there's a sad cat sadder

But you ain't got to let it get on top of you

No, you ain't got to let it get a hold

You gotta get out of that rut before you get old

Somewhere over the sun there's a beebop a hummin'

Somewhere down at the station

There's a freedom train a comin'

Can you hear that chugga luggin', better get on board

Get out of the wind and the cold

You gotta get out of that rut before you get old

So pack up your troubles - go head for the hills

Leave all your worries behind

Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills

Go catch a fish on the line

Somewhere up in the sky there's a big big dadda

Sometime you'll have to climb up a dangerous ladder

But there ain't such a word as impossible

And there's always the never ending dream

And things ain't never as bad as they might seem

So pack up your troubles - go head for the hills

Leave all your worries behind

Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills

Go catch a fish on the line

Somewhere out on the horizon, there's a deep hole waiting

No-one, no-one at all is ever gonna get away

They never gonna get away

You gotta reach out and touch the impossible

And never let it take a hold

You better get out of that rut before you get old

So pack up your troubles - go head for the hills

Leave all your worries behind

Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills

Go catch a fish on the line

All you're ever ever gonna do will work out fine

Go catch a fish on the line
