Rome adventure all the rage, Venice looks good on the page Paris loves Old Lucy Brown London Beatles falling down Mayor's message very terse Air pollution getting worse It's all so heavy War in somewhere growing near Income tax time almost here Life on the levee... We pause five minutes For the devastating daily news And in five minutes you can bet You'll know those Wall Street blues Oh! A note of cheer 'Cause it says right here That today is Spring Happens ev'ry year In this hemisphere So today is Spring Since today is Spring Now I'm wondering If we shouldn't be planning A picnic Get away from here Go and have a beer In which maybe to cry Or, at least, have a sigh But when I'm asked to be profound I start to sneeze insanely I keep my feet too near the ground And shoot the breeze inanely Just one more chance At sweet romance Maybe that's all I'm after And if I'm late Such is my fate I'll remember in December That it once was Spring Just a season But how life needs season... Don't forget to pay the rent Time is taxed at ten percent Brush your teeth with wet cement Mickey Mouse for President! Oh, and by the way also meant to say... That today is Spring! Happens once a year in this hemisphere... And it's happening! So you'll understand That a change is planned And I don't give a damn what you're thinking Say I'm lazy, say I'm crazy But you'll have to talk fast 'Cause your future just passed And remember in December That it once was Spring Just a season But how life needs seasoning!
