’Tis Autumn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Old Father Time checked, so there'd be no doubt Called on the north wind to come on out Then cupped his hands, so proudly to shout "La-de-da, de-da-de-dum, 'tis Autumn" [Verse 2] The trees say they're tired, they borne too much fruit Charmed all the wayside, there's no dispute Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot La-de-da, de-da-de-dum, 'tis Autumn [Bridge] Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather After making their decision in birdie-like precision Turned about and made a bee-line to the south [Verse 3] My holding you close really is no crime Ask the birds, the trees, and Old Father Time It's just to help the mercury climb La-de-da, de-da-de-dum, 'tis Autumn [Bridge] Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather After making their decision in birdie-like precision Turned about and made a bee-line to the south [Verse 3] My holding you close really is no crime Ask the birds, the trees, and Old Father Time It's just to help the mercury climb La-de-da, de-da-de-dum [Outro] La-de-da, de-da-de-dum, 'tis Autumn
