June Is Bustin’ Out All Over

[Nettie Fowler]
March went out like a lion
A whippin' up the water in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And along come pretty little May!
May was full of promises
But she didn't keep 'em quickly enough for some
And a crowd of doubtin' Thomases
Was predictin' that the summer'd never come

[Male Ensemble]
But it's comin, by gum
We can feel it come
You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground

[Female Ensemble]
You can see it in the trees
You can smell it in the breeze

[Whole Ensemble]
Look around! Look around! Look around!

[Nettie Fowler]
June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill

June is bustin' out all over
The feelin' is gettin' so intense
That the young Virginia creepers
Have been huggin' the bejeepers
Outta all the mornin' glories on the fence!
Because it's June!

[Ensemble + Nettie Fowler]
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!

[Nettie Fowler]
Fresh and alive and gay and young
June is a love song, sweetly song

[Ensemble + Nettie Fowler]
June is bustin' out all over!
The saplin's are bustin' out with sap!
Love has found my brother, Junior
And my sister's even loonier!
And my Ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap!
June is bustin' out all over

[Nettie Fowler]
To ladies the men are payin' court
Lotsa ships are kept at anchor
Just because the captains hanker
For the comfort they can only get in port!

[Ensemble + Nettie Fowler]
Because it's June!
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!

[Nettie Fowler]
June makes the bay look bright and blue
Sails gleaming white on sunlit booms

[Ensemble + Nettie Fowler]
June is bustin' out all over
The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills
With her little tail a-swishin'
Ev'ry lady fish is wishin'
That a male would come
And grab 'er by the gills!

[Nettie Fowler]
June is bustin' out all over!
The sheep aren't sheepish anymore!
All the rams that chase the ewe sheep
Are determined there'll be new sheep
And the ewe-sheep aren't even keepin' score!

[Ensemble + Nettie Fowler]
On account-a it's June! June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!
