Lyrics
Give it to 'em good, Carrie, give it to 'em good
Get away you no-count nothings
With your silly jokes and prattle
If you packed all your brains in a butterfly's head
They'd still have room to prattle
Give it to 'em good, Carrie, give it to 'em good
Tell 'em somethin' that'll larn 'em
Get away you roustabout riffraff
With your bellies full of grog
If you packed all your brains in a pollywog's head
He'd never even grow to be a frog
No pollywog could never be a frog
That'll larn 'em, darn 'em
Now just a minute, ladies, you got no call to fret
We only asked politely if you was ready yet
We'd kinda like this clambake to get an early start
And wanted fur to tell you we went and done our part
Look at them clams
We've been diggin' 'em since sun up
Look at them clams
All ready for the hose
Look at them clams
We're all worn out and done up
And what's more we're hungry as goats
You'll get no drinks or vittles
'Til we get across the bay
So pull in your boats and load them boats
And let's get underway
The sooner we sail, the sooner we start
The clambake 'cross the bay
March went out like a lion
A-whippin' up the water in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And along come pretty little May
May was full of promises
But she didn't keep 'em quick enough for some
And a crowd of doubtin' Thomas's
Was predictin' that the summer'd never come
But it's comin', by gum
You can feel it come
You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground
You can hear it in the trees
You can smell it in the breeze
Look around, look around, look around
June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill
Buds are bustin' out of bushes
And the rompin' river rushes
Every little will that wills beside the mill
June is bustin' out all over
The feelin' is gettin' so intense
That the young Virginia creepers
Have been huggin' the bejeepers
Out of all the mornin' glories on the fence
Because it's June
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June
Fresh and alive and gay and young
June is a love song sweetly sung
June is bustin' out all over
The saplings are bustin' out with sap
Love has found my brother Junior
And my sister's even loonier
And my ma is gettin' kittenish with pap
June is bustin' out all over
To ladies men are payin' court
Lots of ships have kept at anchor
Just because the captains hanker
For comfort they can only get in port
Because it's June
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June
June makes the bay look bright and new
Sails gleamin' white on sunlit blue
June is bustin' out all over
The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills
With her little tail a-swishin'
Every lady fish is wishin'
That a male would come and grab her by the gills
June is bustin' out all over
The sheep aren't sleepin' anymore
All the rams that chased the ewe sheep
Are determined there'll be new sheep
And the ewe sheep aren't even keepin' score
Because it's June
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June
