About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a to an I love you-a,
I love to, I love to sing!
About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a.
With a cottage small-a by a waterfall-a,
Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a,
I was born a singin' fool-a,
Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me,
Got through Yale with boula-boula,
I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a,
With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy,
