'Tis Autumn lyrics

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-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn!

The trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit

Charmed all the wayside, there's no dispute

Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot!

For la-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn!

Then the birds got together

To chirp about the weather, mmm

After making their decision

In birdie-like precision turned about

And made a bee-line to the south

My holding you close really is no crime

Ask the birds, the bees, and Old Father Time

It's just to help the mercury climb

For la-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn!

My holding you close really is no crime

Ask the birds, the bees, and Old Father Time

It's just to help the mercury climb

For la-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn!
