Gilbert and Sullivan
The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la
[NANKI-POO]
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Breathe promise of merry sunshine —
As we merrily dance and we sing
Tra la
We welcome the hope that they bring
Tra la
Of a summer of roses and wine
Of a summer of roses and wine
And that's what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
The flowers that bloom in the spring
[YUM-YUM, PITTI-SING, NANKI-POO & POOH-BAH]
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la la!
[KO-KO]
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Have nothing to do with the case
I've got to take under my wing
Tra la
A most unattractive old thing
Tra la
With a caricature of a face
With a caricature of a face
And that's what I mean when I say, or I sing
"Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the spring."
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
"Oh, bother the flowers of spring."
[YUM-YUM, PITTI-SING, NANKI-POO & POOH-BAH]
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la la!
