Accompaniment:
Lyrics
I used to think a love song
Was none of my affair
But one fine spring
I heard a certain music in the air
Chorus:
April played the fiddle
And my heart began to dance
And I was so surprised to find
My arms around romance
April played the fiddle
And I memorized the tune
And later on a dream and I
Went singing to the moon
Then May began to gossip
And June just winked her eye
And you should have seen
The “know-it-all” expression on July
April played the fiddle
Ah! but here′s the funny part
I had to “pay the fiddler”
With my one and only heart
