'Tis Autumn - Stacey Kent/Jim Tomlinson/David Newton/Dave Chamberlain/Matt Home

Old Father Time checked

So there'd be no doubt

Called on the north wind

To come on out

Then cupped his hands

So proudly to shout

La-de-da de-da-de-da

'Tis Autumn

The trees say they're tired

Bore too much fruit

Charmed all the wayside

There's no dispute

Now shedding leaves

They don't give a hoot

La-de-da de-da-de-dum

'Tis Autumn

Then the birds got together

To chirp about the weather

After makin' their decision

With birdie-like precision

Turned about

And made a bee-line for the south

Oh holding you close

Really is no crime

Ask the birds

The trees and Old Father Time

It's just to

Help the mercury climb

La-de-da de-da-de-da

'Tis Autumn

Then the birds got together

To chirp about the weather

After makin' their decision

With birdie-like precision

Turned about

And made a bee-line

For the south

Oh holding you close

Really is no crime

Ask the birds the trees

And Old Father Time

It's just to

Help the mercury climb

La-de-da de-da-de-da

'Tis Autumn
