Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I put the screens up
I saw a bug
I’m gonna paint the fence
Took my woolen sox
Packed ’em in a box
I’m pitchin’ mothballs
I beat the rug
Oh why am I intense
And feel so strange and queer
At this time ev’ry year
Refrain
Don’t look now but
Spring has sprung, mad, young
Spring has sprung since tonight
That beguiling sting has stung
Your porch swing has swung since tonight
Folks in the big romance department
Seem in that lovely frantic state
Absolutely great
Front door bells that ring have rung
Lips that cling have clung
Oh so tight, let’s face it
Spring has sprung tonight
