Lyrics
- Honey, can’t you notice
Things are diff’rent ev’rywhere
Flowers blooming and perfuming
All the garden air
Dearie don’t you know what’s happening
Can’t you tell the sign
That means “Good-bye, Spring”
And “Hello, good old Summer time”
Lock your houses, close your flats
Get bathing suits and new straw hats
Chorus
Hello Summer! How do you do?
Where’ve you been for all the months
You haven’t called upon us once
Gee! we’ve missed your
Long, long Summer nights
Stay a while, don’t go
For we just love to spoon
‘Neath the yellow moon
Summer, Hello
- Honey, now’s the time to marry
Be a bride of June
All July, dear, you and I, dear’ll
Have our honey moon
Just today I saw a bungalow
Down beside the sea
Big enough for just us two
And far too small for three
Take your furs and wraps and shawls
And put them all in camphor balls
