Old Father Time checked, so there'd be no doubt
Called down the north wind to come on out
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout
"La-di-dah, oh la-di-dum, 'tis autumn!"
The trees say they're tired for too much fruit
Charmed on the wayside, there's no dispute
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot
La-di-dah, oh la-di-dum, 'tis autumn
Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision
Turned about, and made a beeline for the south
My holding you close really is no crime
Ask the birds, the trees, and old Father Time
It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah, oh la-di-dum, 'tis autumn
Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision
Turned about, and made a beeline for the south
My holding you close really is no crime
Ask the birds, the trees, and old Father Time
It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah
Oh la-da-di-di-dum
'Tis autumn
