SPRING FEVER
Reading edition
Not exactly lazy— Yet I want to sit In the mornin’ hazy An’ jest dream a bit. Haven’t got ambition Fer a single thing— Regaler condition Ev’ry bloomin’ Spring. Want to sleep at noontime (Ought to work instead), But along at moontime Hate to go to bed. Find myself a-stealin’ Fer a sunny spot— Jest that Springy feelin’, That is what I’ve got. Like to set a-wishin’ Fer a pipe an’ book, Like to go a-fishin’ In a meadow-brook With some fish deceiver, Underneath a tree— Jest the old Spring fever, That’s what’s ailing me!
