It Might As Well Be Spring - 1945

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Sept 2001

The things I used to like
I don't like any more,
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 am starryeyed
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 someone 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 day dreams,
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.

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 am starryeyed
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 someone 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 day dreams,
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.
