The things I used to like
I don't like anymore
I want a lot of other things
I've never had before
It's just like mother says...
I sit around and mope
Pretending I am wonderful
And knowing I'm a dope
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I'm starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh, why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring?
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I have never heard
From a man I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay
In a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as well be spring
In our air-conditioned, patent leather farmhouse
On our ultra-modern, scientific farm
We'll live in a stream-lined heaven
And we'll waste no time on charm!
No geraniums to clutter our veranda
Nor single little sentimental things
No virginia creepers, nothing useless !
