Johnny Mercer
Spring, Spring, Spring!
[Verse 1]
Oh, the barnyard is busy in a regular tizzy
And the obvious reason is because of the season
Ma nature is lyrical, with her yearly miracle
It's spring, spring, spring
All the hen-folk are hatchin'
While their men-folk are scrathin'
To ensure the survival of each brand new arrival
Each nest is twitterin'
They're all baby-sitterin'
It's spring, spring, spring
It's a beehive of budding son and daughter life
Every family has plans in view
Down in the brook the underwater life
Is forever blowin' bubbles too
[Verse 2]
Evеry field wears a bonnet
With somе spring daisies on it
Even birds of a feather show their clothes off together
Sun's getting shinery, to spotlight the finery
It's spring, spring, spring
In his hole, though the gopher seems a bit of a loafer
The industrious beaver puts it down to spring fever
While there's no antelope who feels that he can't elope
It's spring, spring, spring
Slow but surely the turtle who's enormously fertile
Lays her eggs by the dozens, maybe some are her cousins
Even the catamount is none past at that amount
It's spring, spring, spring
Even out in Australia, the kangaroos
Lay off butter fat and all French fries
If their offspring are large, it might be dangerous
They've just got to keep them pocket-size
[Verse 3]
Even though, to each rabbot, spring is more like a habit
Not withstanding, the fact is they indulge in the practice
Each day is Mother's Day, the next day some other's day
It's spring, spring, spring
Even birds of a feather show their clothes off together
The sun's getting shinery, to spotlight the finery
All because it's spring, spring, spring
It's spring
