Where the road runs down by the Butternut Grove
To old Bill Skinners 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
Birds in all creation
Will be twitterin' in the trees
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
On a trip on down to wonderland
In love among the flowers
Where time gets lost with no straw boss
Tallyin' up the hours
Where the road runs down by the Butternut Grove
To old Bill Skinners Stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime dream (time for a summertime dream)
Birds in all creation
Will be twitterin' in the trees
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
So if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
(It's time for a summertime dream)
(It's time for a summertime dream)
