-
- 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 starry-eyed 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 somewhere else
- Walking down a strange new street
- Hearing words that I have never heard
- >From a girl I've yet to meet
-
- I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
- 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
