The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m the kind of a feller
Knows the angles, all the angles
And I get what I’m after
Tho’ it dangles out of reach
I know how to shake down a peach
Refrain
Anything can happen on a summer afternoon
On a lazy, daisy, golden hazy summer afternoon
There’a a singing in the sunbeams
That the best is yet you be
And the trees tell the breeze
“Wait and see, wait and see”
Anything you’re dreaming
Simply has to come your way
When it’s such a dancy
Extra fancy super duper day
And the sun gives you the promise
That tonight you’ll own the moon
Anything can happen on a summer afternoon
