Lyrics:
March winds and April showers
Make way for sweet May flowers
And then from june, a moon and you
March winds and April showers
Romance will soon be ours
And I'll go paradise for two
With your lips to mine in a thrill divine
I'll be so inspired
That I'll get you the Moon for a toy baloon
Ooh, March winds and April showers
Make way for happy hours
Then May time, June time, love time and you
