[Verse 1]
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove
To old Bill Skinner's stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime dream

[Verse 2]
In a lunch pail town in a one horse way
You can live like king and queen
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream

[Bridge]
Birds in all creation
Will be twitterin' in the trees
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please

[Verse 3]
And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
On a trip on down to wonderland
In love among the flowers
Where time gets lost with no straw boss
Tallying up the hours

[Verse 1]
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove
To old Bill Skinner's stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime dream

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Birds in all creation
Will be twitterin' in the trees
And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please

[Verse 3]
So if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
[Guitar Solo]
