I see a puppy upon a summer's day
My heart is filled with envy
My heart is yearning to pass the time away
And tho' it's wrong to be
I want to be out in the sun
And let the world go drifting by
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
And getting shorter with each day that goes by
And how the time does fly
Before you know, it's over
In such a hurry to pack my things and fly
And hear the birdies sing
