down but the butternut grove
To old Bill Skinner's stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime dream
In a lunch pail town in a one horse way
You can live like a king and queen
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
And if you come 'round when
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime
On a trip on down to wonderland
In love among the flowers
Where the road runs down by
To old Bill Skinner's stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime
Birds in all creation will be
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
