I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as 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
O why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring.
I keep wishing I were someone else, walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never heard from a girl I've yet to meet.
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams, spinning 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.
