D                                  A 
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove 
    D                  G 
To old bill skinners stream 
    D            G 
Do tell at the noonday bell 
     A                      D 
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 
    

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

(Instrumental: 
D A D G D G A D ) 

Bm 
On a trip on down to wonderland 
     D  
In love among the flowers 
       Bm                     
Where time gets lost with no straw boss 
G               A 
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 D )
