As recorded by MABEL TODD with Male Chorus:

(There must be brownies)
(And there must be pixies)
(And there must be goblins beyond the beyond)
Ah-hah-hah-hah
(I never thought they'd respond to you)
But someone certainly waved a wand
Doo-doodle-oodle-doo-doodle-ooh-doowit
Doo-doodle-oodle-doo-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee

'Tis Spring today and love is on the way 
Says Who? (Says you), Says I 
'Tis spring and skies are full of butterflies 
Says Who? (Says you), Says I (Says you)
Ah, the daisy crew is breaking through 
They’re making quite a try 
They’re hoping to get a gander at you, says I 
(Says you) Says I, ah-hah

The rain was cold, but now as I behold 
The trees all wear bouquets 
And way up high the Moon’s an apple pie 
The clouds are egg frappé 
Now, within this dream of cake and cream 
Just who is the Lorelei 
Why it's me (Says you), and 'tis gotta come true, says I 

(Instrumental Interlude)

('Tis Spring today) And love is on the way 
Says Who? (Says you), Says I 
'Tis Spring and skies are full of butterflies 
Says Who? (Says you), Says I
That daisy crew is breaking through 
They’re making quite a try 
They’re hoping to get a gander at you, says I 

The rain was cold, but now as I behold 
The trees all wear bouqettes 
And way up high the Moon’s an apple pie 
The clouds are egg frappettes 
(Within this dream of cake and all the cream)
(Who is the lucky guy)
Ah-hah-hah-hah, ah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah
('Tis he) Tis you, and it's gotta come true, says I
Why it's me (Says you), and 'tis gotta come true, says I 
(Says who?), Says I, (Says you), Says I
