Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I have spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
[Verse 2]
I'm as starry eyed and gravely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Why should I have spring fever
When I know it isn't spring?
[Verse 3]
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words I have never heard
From a man I've yet to meet
[Verse 4]
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
[Verse 5]
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
Oh, that it might as well be spring
[Verse 6]
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words I have never heard
From a man I've yet to meet
[Verse 7]
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
[Verse 8]
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
Oh, that it might as well be spring
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
