The Calla Lily Song

Just a Calla Lily soaking up the morning And silly me, I'm underneath the awning Just waiting for the rain to fall So it can pass and I can walk Away from her sweet love and adoring There's times you know your heart is overflowing Like in the spring when all the grass is growing And the Robin and the Whippoorwill All day and night can eat their fill And all the nights when the moon is up and glowing And I think it's fine I think it's fine That she's mine I like to walk along the meadow in the evenings It's something that I do that's worth repeating Sometimes the wind is mellow And the stars go on forever And the thrush inside the nettle are a-sleeping You see, in the city, everyone's a walker Myrtle takes you down to knickerbocker That is where I paid my dues And everyone checks out your shoes Oh man, it's hard to shake the blues when you got em So I think it's fine I think it's fine That she's mine Well, it's times like these I think of her a little The window up and second from the middle And when the light is on She's probably sitting there alone Just a-playing a little song upon her fiddle And I think it's fine I think it's fine That she's mine
