Its A Most Unusual Day

It Might As Well Be Spring

Artist: Andy Williams
Words by Oscar Hammerstein II, Music by Richard Rodgers as their only film score

Performed by Louanne Hogan dubbing for Jeanne Crain in the 1945 film State
Fair , also starring Dana Andrews and Dick Haymes. In the 1962 film re-make,
Anita Gordon dubbed for Pamela Tiffin.
Was a # 5 hit for Haymes in 1945

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had Spring fever
But I know it isn't Spring

I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
When it isn't even Spring?

I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I have never heard
From a girl I've yet to meet

I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be Spring

It might as well be Spring
