Lyrics This Autumn - Eydie Gorme

This Autumn

Old Father time checked, so there’d be no doubt
Called on the North wind to come on out
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!
Trees say they’re tired, they’ve born too much fruit;
Charmed on the wayside, there’s no dispute
Now shedding leaves, they don’t give a hoot —
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!
Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision
Turned about, and made a beeline to the south
My holding you close really is no crime —
Ask the birds and the trees and old Father Time
It’s just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
It’s just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
