D5                                  A5 
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove 
    D5                  G5 
To old bill skinners stream 
    D5            G5 
Do tell at the noonday bell 
     A5                      D5 
Its time for a summertime dream 

In a lunch pail town in a one horse way 

You can live like a king and queen 

Lets steal away in the noonday sun 

Its time for a summertime dream 
    

B5                              D5 
Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees 
     B5                    
And down belows a pond I know 
         G5                  A5 
You can swim in it if you please 
    D5                           A5      
And if you come round when the mill shuts down 
         D5                 G5 
You can see what chivalry means 
       D5                G5 
Lets steal away in the noonday sun 
     A5                      D5 
Its time for a summertime dream 

(Instrumental: 
D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 A5 D5 ) 

B5 
On a trip on down to wonderland 
     D5  
In love among the flowers 
       B5                     
Where time gets lost with no straw boss 
G5               A5 
Tallyin up the hours 

Where the road runs down by the butternut grove 
To old bill skinners stream 
Do tell at the noonday bell 
Its time for a summertime dream 

(Instrumental, same as above) 

Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees 
And down belows a pond I know 
You can swim in it if you please 
And if you come round when the mill shuts down 
You can see what chivalry means 
Lets steal away in the noonday sun 
Its time for a summertime dream 

(Repeat instrumental 2x to end on D5 )
