THE GRASS IS GETTIN' GREENER ALL THE TIME

VERSE: I never worried what the season was,
And the reason was:
I didn't care;
But now I worry what the season is,
And the reason is:
A love affair.

CHORUS: Oh, the weather man said
That the weather ahead
Will soon be bright,
And I think he's right,
'Cause the grass is gettin' greener all the time;
And my lovey just said,
When the roses are red,
We'll name the day,
And I'm glad to say
That the grass is gettin' greener all the time.
Is she wonderful? Swell!
Am I glad that I fell?
Does she go for me? Well—
We're both saving for the ring.
With a tweedle-dum-dee
All the birdies and me
Rehearse our song,
And it won't be long,
'Cause the grass is gettin' greener all the time.

VERSE 2: It's very strange and yet it isn't strange,
How a man can change
His point of view.
I used to like to see the snow and such.
And now I'd rather much
The morning dew.
