Memphis in June lyrics
by George Gershwin
Memphis in June
A shady veranda
Under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And cousin Amanda
Is making a blueberry pie
I can hear the clock inside
A-ticking and a-tocking
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see your granny
'Cross the street still a rocking
Watching all the neighbors go by, oh
Memphis in June
With sweet oleander
Blowing perfume in the air
Up jumps a moon
To make that much grander
It's paradise, brother
Take my advice
Nothing's half as nice
As Memphis in June
