| 作词 : | |
| "I meant to do my work today | |
| The brown bird sang in the apple tree | |
| I know that's why .... | |
| And a butterfly flittered accross the field | |
| And all the leaves were calling me | |
| And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads | |
| Greeting the bees who came to call | |
| And I asked the lizard the time of day....." | |
| And the wind went sighing over the land, | |
| Tossing the grasses to and fro, | |
| And a rainbow held out its shining hand— | |
| So what could I do but laugh and go? |
