On the Front Porch

"On the Front Porch" is a song from the film Summer Magic, written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung primarily by Osh Popham (Burl Ives). But he is joined in by the cast throughout it. After the lawn party at the yellow house the Pophams and the Careys relax on their front porch and sing it.
Robert Sherman said that out of all the songs he wrote, this is his favorite.
==Lyrics==
:Three creeky wooden stairs
:Those squeeky rocking chairs
:The well-worn welcome mat
:The latis-vine
:The happy times
:All I wanna do
:When the day is through
:Is linger here
:On the front porch with you
:From the wicker swing
:While the night birds sing
:We'll watch the fireflies sparkin'
:Do some sparkin' too
:How the hours fly
:As the Moon drifts by
:How sweet the air
:As we stare at the sky
:Oh how I love to
:Linger here like this
:Hold your hand
:And steal a kiss or two
:On the front porch with you
