  2. Song: "It might as well be spring"

    Listen to it on youtube:

    Lyrics:
    I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
    I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
    I'd say that I had Spring fever
    But I know it isn't Spring
    I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
    Like a nightingale without a song to sing
    Oh, why should I have Spring fever
    When it isn't even Spring?
    I keep wishing I were somewhere else
    Walking down a strange new street
    Hearing words that I have never heard
    From a man I've yet to meet
    I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
    I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
    I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
    But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
    That it might as well be Spring.
    It might as well be spring…
