Memphis In June Irene Kral

Memphis in June
A shady veranda
Under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And cousin Amanda's
Makin' a rhubarb pie

I can hear the clock inside a-tickin' an' tockin'
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see old granny 'cross the street still a-rockin'
Watchin' the neighbours go by

Memphis in June
With sweet oleander
Blowin' perfume in the air
Up jumps a moon
To make it that much grander
It's paradise
Brother take my advice
Nothin's half as nice
As Memphis in June

Up jumps a moon
To make it that much grander
It's paradise
Brother take my advice
Nothin's half as nice
As Memphis in June
