Memphis In June - Hoagy Carmichael
Memphis in June
A shady veranda
under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
and cousin Amanda
is making a rhubarb pie
I can hear the clock inside
a-ticking and tocking
Everything is peaceful and dandy
I can see old granny across
the street still a-rocking
Watching the neighbours go by
Memphis in June
with sweet oleander
Blowing perfume in the air
Up jumps the moon
to make it that much grander
It's paradise Brother take my advice
Nothing's half as nice as Memphis in June
Memphis in June
with sweet oleander
Blowing perfume in the air
Up jumps the moon
to make it that much grander
It's paradise Brother take my advice
Nothing's half as nice as Memphis in June
