Spring Spring Spring (Demo Recording)
Oh the barnyard is busy
In a regular tizzy
And the obvious reason is
Because of the season
Ma Nature's lyrical
With her yearly miracle
Spring, spring, spring
All the hen-folk are hatchin'
While their men-folk are scratchin'
To ensure the survival of
Each brand new arrival
Each nest is twitterin'
They're all baby-sitterin'
Spring, spring, spring
It's a beehive of buddin' son and daughter life
Every family has plans in view
Even down in the brook the underwater life
Is forever blowing bubbles too
Every field wears a bonnet
With some spring daisies on it
Even birds of a feather
Show their clothes off together
Suns gettin' shinery
To spotlight the finery
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
Spring, spring, spring
Slow but surely the turtle who's enormously fertile
Lays her eggs by the dozen, maybe some are her cousins
Even the catamount is none past at that amount
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 'em pocket-size
Even though, to each rabbit, spring is more like a habit
Nonetheless in the cactus they indulge in the practice
Natural proclivity, they dig relativity
Spring, spring, spring
To itself, each ameoba [?]
While the proud little termite
Feels as large as a worm might
Oh papa dragonfly
Is making his wagon fly
Spring, spring, spring
Every bug settles snuggly
In it's own baby buggy
And in spite of policing
Seems the tribe is increasing
'Cause Mrs. Cady did
Once did what her matey did
Spring, spring, spring
Daddy Long Legs is stretching out his creaking joints
And how busy can a bumble be?
Flitting hither and tither
She keeps singing joy
With a spare room in the nursery
Each cocoon has a tenant
So they hung out a pennant
"Don't disturb please keep waiting
We are evacuating"
This home's my momma's house
Soon I'll have my own domicile
Spring, spring, spring
It's as old as forever
But it's more fun than ever
Spring, spring, spring
