Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II (O. Greeley Clendenning H. II)
Music by Richard Rodgers
From the Film: State Fair 1945

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say That I HAD spring fever
But I Know It Is not spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Or Why Should I have spring fever
When It Is not even spring
I keep wishing I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I have not 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

(On AIr It Might As Well Be Spring)

    If you can find the spring here, today, and a robin singing, the music means that you have it inside. A kiss
