Something Came And Got Me In The Spring 1933

There are times I'm feeling silly
as a daffy daffodil,
Gosh! Oh Gee! Oh dear, me!
And at times I have a fever
that is followed by a chill
It's got me
climbing up a cocoanut tree.

Something came and got me in the Spring
and when I see a clinging vine
I feel I want to cling,
there's something in the atmosphere
that makes me want to sing,
something came and got me in the Spring.
Thro' the day I'm acting like a goof,
the neighbours say I'm crazy
but they haven't any proof,
I'm sitting in a cellar
but my mind is on the roof,
something came and got me in the Spring.
I can hear my heart tickticking
and I wonder what is what,
feeling so romantic picking petals
asking daisies what I've got.
Dizzy as a monkey on a string,
I'm up and down because I've found
the sweetest little thing,
she's ever got me so
I made a payment on a ring,
something came and got me in the Spring.

Something came and got me in the Spring
and when I see a clinging vine
I feel I want to cling,
there's something in the atmosphere
that makes me want to sing,
something came and got me in the Spring.
Thro' the day I'm acting like a goof,
the neighbours say I'm crazy
but they haven't any proof,
I'm sitting in a cellar
but my mind is on the roof,
something came and got me in the Spring.
I can hear my heart tickticking
and I wonder what is what,
feeling so romantic picking petals
asking daisies what I've got.
Dizzy as a monkey on a string,
I'm up and down because I've found
the sweetest little thing,
she's ever got me so
I made a payment on a ring,
something came and got me in the Spring.

Winters come and winters go
but I am not enthused at all,
you may say I'm blasé!
Summers don't affect me and
I'm not excited by the fall,
Me, oh my!
Ev'rything has changed and here's why.

Something came and got me in the Spring
and when I see a clinging vine
I feel I want to cling,
there's something in the atmosphere
that makes me want to sing,
something came and got me in the Spring.
Thro' the day I'm acting like a goof,
the neighbours say I'm crazy
but they haven't any proof,
I'm sitting in a cellar
but my mind is on the roof,
something came and got me in the Spring.
I can hear my heart tickticking
and I wonder what is what,
feeling so romantic picking petals
asking daisies what I've got.
Dizzy as a monkey on a string,
I'm up and down because I've found
the sweetest little thing,
she's ever got me so
I made a payment on a ring,
something came and got me in the Spring.

Something came and got me in the Spring
and when I see a clinging vine
I feel I want to cling,
there's something in the atmosphere
that makes me want to sing,
something came and got me in the Spring.
Thro' the day I'm acting like a goof,
the neighbours say I'm crazy
but they haven't any proof,
I'm sitting in a cellar
but my mind is on the roof,
something came and got me in the Spring.
I can hear my heart tickticking
and I wonder what is what,
feeling so romantic picking petals
asking daisies what I've got.
Dizzy as a monkey on a string,
I'm up and down because I've found
the sweetest little thing,
she's ever got me so
I made a payment on a ring,
something came and got me in the Spring.
