Lyrics

(spoken)
Flahooley, you’re back in the world!
And Spring is back!
Look, lilacs!
Tulips!
Buttercups!
It must’ve been a bad dream
And now...the nightmare endeth!
The nightingale singeth!
And the springtime cometh!
(sung)
The springtime cometh
Hummingbird hummeth
Little brook runneth
Merry maiden blusheth
Ice man goeth
For thy beauty bloweth
Spring to me!
The bright world shineth
Tender awn twineth
Starry eye gloweth
For they knoweth that without thee
Spring would never be
Daffodil....He can’t stand still
Cap he flingeth
Cane he swingeth
Song he singeth
A-Ding dong day
Which is to say
The springtime cometh
Hummingbird hummeth
Sugar plum plummeth
Heart, it Humpty-Dummeth
And to summeth
Up, the springtime cometh
For the love of thee!
Lad and lass
In tall green grass
Gaily skippeth
Nylon rippeth
Zipper zippeth
A-Ding dong day
Which is to say
The springtime cometh
Hummingbird hummeth
Geranee-yummeth
Chrysanthe-mummeth
Bubble gum gummeth
(spoken)
Oh-, chain reaction, I can’t stop!
(sung)
And the springtime cometh
For the love of thee
Lad and lass
In tall green grass
Softly speaketh
Dreams they seeketh
Cheek to cheeketh
A-Ding dong day
Which is to say
The springtime cometh
Hummingbird hummeth
Sugar plum plummeth
Heart, it Humpty-Dummeth
And to summeth
Up, the springtime cometh
For the love of thee!
