You know, Harold Arlen, Harold Arlen has a talent for
Uh, making every performer feel like they own his songs
You know, really, he just writes such beautiful songs
And quite honestly and embarrassingly, I'd like to tell
You that I feel that he didn't write this song for me
But I feel like I own this next song that I'd like to sing
'Cause I love this song so much
The sun is full o' liquor
The earth is full o' wine
Crickets doin' nip-ups
'Round the columbine
The feelin' is infectious
June is ev'rywhere
Hearts light and windy
'Cause spring is in the air
Oh, oh, what good
Does it do a guy
To know that June is in the sky?
What good to know
That there are birds and bees
Composin' beautiful calypsos
In the eucalyptus trees?
It's strange but sad
When love go bad
The spring that once come to tickle us
Now add up to ridicule us
And so I say
What good is April or June or May?
What good are sonnets in the spring
That you sing?
Or cherries in the tree
That you see?
Or lilies in the dell
That you smell?
When you're all alone
With June in the sky
What good does it do, does it do, does it do a guy?
The smell in the dell
The rose in lapel
The thrill and the spell
And the whole miracle
Of the moon in the velvet sky
What good does it do, does it do, does it do a guy?
