The cold winter weather has lasted SO

We're tired of skates, and we're tired of
sleds,
We're tired of snowbanks as high as our
heads;
Now were watching for you,

Soon as you sing, then the springtime
will come.
The robins will call and the honey bees
hum,
And the dear little pussies, so cunning
and gray,
VIII sit in the willow trees over the way;
So hurry, please do,

We're longing to hunt in the woods, for
we know
Just where the spring beauties and liv-

We're sure they will peep when they
hear your first song,
But why are you keeping US waiting SO
long,
All waiting for you,
