(Denny)
A dickey-bird whispered 'Haven't you heard
Spring is here, Spring is here, Spring is here'

(Doreen)
A little crow sang a happy hallo
My favourite time of the year

(Denny)
A little frog sang a song on his log
Lose your blues,

(Doreen)
Lose your blues,

(Denny)
Lose your blues

(Doreen)
And you and I fell in love in reply
On hearing the dickey-bird's news

(Denny)
If you have to look around to find a reason
For such a wonderful thing

(Doreen)
You can blame it on the sentimental season
Falling in love is done in the spring

(Denny)
The bobolink looked at us with a wink

(Doreen)
Attaboy,

(Denny)
Attagirl, nothing's wrong

(Doreen)
When you are in love you'll go swinging along

(Denny)
A-singing that dickey-bird's song

(Musical Break)

(Denny)
The Bobolink looked at us with a wink

(Doreen)
Attaboy,

(Denny)
 Attagirl, nothing's wrong

(Doreen)
When you are in love you'll go swinging along
(Both)
A-singing that dickey-bird's song
