Where the road runs down by the butternut grove
|
To old Bill Skinner's stream
|
Do tell at the noonday bell
|
It's time for a summertime dream
|
In a lunch pail town in a one horse way
|
You can live like a king and queen
|
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
|
It's time for a summertime dream
|
|
Birds in all creation will be twitterin' in the trees
|
And down below's a pond I know
|
You can swim in it if you please
|
And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
|
You can see what chivalry means
|
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
|
It's time for a summertime dream
|
|
On a trip on down to wonderland
|
In love among the flowers
|
Where time gets lost with no straw boss
|
Tallyin' up the hours
|
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove
|
To old Bill Skinner's stream
|
Do tell at the noonday bell
|
It's time for a summertime dream
|
|
Birds in all creation will be twitterin' in the trees
|
And down below's a pond I know
|
You can swim in it if you please
|
So if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
|
You can see what chivalry means
|
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
|
It's time for a summertime dream
|
