Spring
It’s a flash and a flight and a flow and a fling
It’s a shoot and a scoot and a swirl and a swing
It’s a swell and a bell and a peal and a ring
It’s a bud and a bird and the flap of a wing
It’s a jump and a leap and a bounce
and its spring.
It’s a shoot and a scoot and a swirl and a swing
It’s a swell and a bell and a peal and a ring
It’s a bud and a bird and the flap of a wing
It’s a jump and a leap and a bounce
and its spring.
