Autumn in Connecticut

Lyrics

(Song) [CATHY] Pretty as a postcard, the leaves in fall Filling up the driveways, the sidewalks, I just adore the feeling of it all It's autumn in Connecticut My favorite time of year Come autumn in Connecticut The air is crisp and clear Just feel that extra special sparkle in the atmosphere Of Hartford (Spoken) [JANICE] Sarah Seeker says that new ballet slippers only cost five dollars. Please can I get them, Mother? Please, can I? [CATHY] We'll see (Song) Supper for the children at 6:15 (Janice, it's bathtimе! David!) Lay your father's suit out Then scoop out Then rakе the lawn in time for Halloween (Spoken) [DAVID] Aw, shucks! How come Janice doesn't gotta? [CATHY] "Doesn't have to," and don't swear (Song) It's autumn in Connecticut A wonderland to me The splendor of Connecticut Is everywhere to see The way October turns New England to a symphony Of autumn (Spoken) [ELEANOR] Cathy! [CATHY] Well, hello stranger. Aren't I seeing you in about three hours time? [ELEANOR] You are, but I just left the caterers this instant and had to dash over with the samples for your party next month. Ready? [CATHY] Show me (Song) [ELEANOR] Periwinkle blue is dashing Combined with tangerine You like? [CATHY] I like [ELEANOR] Hearts look simply smashing With avocado green You like? [CATHY] I like [ELEANOR] Polka dots are prone to clashing And buff is far too clean [CATHY] Indigo with gray and garnet [ELEANOR] You win again, gosh darn it (Spoken) All right, so I'll call the caterers in the morning, and honey, we are in business (Song) [CATHY] Everything is changing, yet still the same [ELEANOR] This fall, I'm planting Arbor Heidi It's so practical and tidy [CATHY] Nature is evolving Dissolving Just like a painted landscape in a frame [ELEANOR] And the tulip bed Is a year ahead [CATHY] It's autumn in Connecticut A place of red and gold When Heaven made Connecticut I swear they broke the mold A place and reason Why the season Was invented for The picture postcard for every candy store Right by our door It's all by our door Here in Connecticut Can't ask for more
