Autumn
The wind is up, the leaves are down,
Whoo-oo-oo!
They’re fluttering by, red, yellow and brown,
Whoo-oo-oo!
See them hustling, bustling past,
They’re mad with joy for they’re free at last,
Let’s hurry them, scurry them, chase them fast,
Whoo-oo-oo!
“I’ve got a broom!” cries the autumn breeze.
“Whoo-oo-oo!
I’ll sweep the leaves from the rustling trees,
Whoo-oo-oo!
I’ll scatter them, spatter them over the ground,
And they’ll make such a crickly, crackly sound
When the boys and girls come running around,
Whoo-oo-oo!
