Oh You Beautiful Spring 1912 'The Red Petticoat'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Mar 2005

Oh dear old Springtime and
"The Wearing of the Green"
When all the birdies
on the Easter hats are seen
And mothballs settle
in the furcoats laid aside
and from the coal bills we don't hide!

Spring, Spring beautiful Spring!
Take it from me
it's a glorious thing!
The flowers that bloom
in the Spring Tralala.
Give frosty old Winter the "Merry Ha Ha!"
Spring, Spring beautiful Spring.
Fill up your chests and get ready to sing,
"Halelujah" or away old thing,
Oh you Beautiful, beautiful Spring.

Then bud the poets
on the branches up above
and young man's fancy
turns to baseball games and love
Then in New York the actors
bloom along the street
and organ grinders spoil your sleep!

Spring, Spring beautiful Spring!
Take it from me
it's a glorious thing!
The flowers that bloom
in the Spring Tralala.
Give frosty old Winter the "Merry Ha Ha!"
Spring, Spring beautiful Spring.
Fill up your chests and get ready to sing,
"Halelujah" or away old thing,
Oh you Beautiful, beautiful Spring.
