Lyrics
June time, June time
Happiest of the year
Don’t you wish it were here?
June time, June time
Time for marrying, dear
Wedding time is near
Month of June, month of June
With your wonderful sun and moon
Month of June, month of June
Oh, please hurry up, month of June
Come back soon
Refrain
There’s a song we sing in June
When the world is all in tune
And the sweet melodies of the breeze
Seem to please all the trees
It’s the song of romp and play
That the youth will sing all day
Mister Cupid’s doing his darndest
The sun is shining away
There is music in the air
There is laughter everywhere
There’s a smile on the face of the earth
At the mirth, at the mirth
There’s a dancing, prancing throng
And the bells all ring ding-dong
There’s a God up above
All is right, all is love
When June comes along with a song
