[Nettie]
March went out like a lion
Awakin' up the water in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And along came pretty little May!
May was full of promises
But she didn't keep 'em quickly enough for some
And the crowd of doubtin' Thomases
Was predictin' that the summer'd never come
[Men]
But it's comin' by dawn
We can feel it come
You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground
[Girls]
You can see it in the trees
You can smell it in the breeze
[All]
Look around! Look around! Look around!
[Nettie]
June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill!
June is bustin' out all over
The feelin' is gettin' so intense
That the young Virginia creepers
Hev been huggin' the bejeepers
Outa all the mornin' glories on the fence!
Because it's June
[All]
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!
[Nettie]
Fresh and alive and gay and young
June is a love song, sweetly song
[All]
June is bustin' out all over!
The saplin's are bustin' out with sap!
Love hes found my brother, Junior
And my sister's even loonier!
And my Ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap!
June in bustin' out all over
[Nettie]
To ladies and men are payin' court
Lotsa ships are kept at anchor
Jest because the captains hanker
Fer the comfort they ken only get in port!
[All]
Because it's June
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!
[Nettie]
June makes the bay look bright and new
Sails gleamin' bright on sunlit blue
[All]
June is bustin' out all over
The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills
With the little tail a-swishing'
Ev'ry lady fish is wishin'
That a male would come
And grab 'er by the gills!
[Nettie]
June is bustin' out all over!
The sheep aren't sleepin' anymore!
All the rams that chase ewe-sheep
All determined there'll be new sheep
And the ewe-sheep aren't even keepin' score!
[All]
On acounta it's June! June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!
