Oh, spring has come in earnest.
The journal says it's here
We see spring bonnets on the street,
And first spring flowers appear
It's time to take the mulching off
That covers spring flower beds,
It's time to go bare headed,
And catch cold in our heads,
It's time to swat the house fly.
And the worms upon your trees,
And the paper says it is the time
To fight all dread disease.
It's time to clean your back yards,
And clean your alleys too,
/ read it in the paper
So know it must be true
It's time to take your carpets up,
And take your curtains down
For l read It in the paper,
And spring has come to town
But when I shiver with the cold,
Out in this sleet and snow,
1t really makes me wonder,
II the papers always know.
