Trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit Charmed on the wayside, there's no dispute Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn! Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision Turned about, and made a beeline to the south My holding you close really is no crime Ask the birds and the trees and old father time It's just to help the mercury climb La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn It's just to help the mercury climb La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision Turned about, and made a beeline to the south My holding you close really is no crime Ask the birds and the trees and old father time It's just to help the mercury climb La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
