June Is Bustin' Out All Over Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Benny Carter; and various other artists
Men: June is bustin' out all over All over the meader and the hill Flowers bustin' out on bushes And the roughen river pushes Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill June is bustin' out all over The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills With the little tail is swishing' Ev'ry lady fish is wishin' that a male would come And grab 'er by the gills Because it's June... June, June, June Just because it's June, June, June!
Carrie: Fresh and alive and gay and young June is a love song, sweety song
Girls: June is bustin' out all over The branches are bustin' out with sap Love has found my brother Junior And my sister's even loonier And my Ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap!
Chorus: June is bustin' out all over
Carrie: The sheep aren't sleepin' anymore All the rams are chasin' ewe-sheep All determined there'll be new ship and the ewe-sheep aren't even keepin' score
Chorus: Because it's June... June, June, June Just because it's June, June, June! It's June...It's June, June, June Just because it's June, June...
Nettie: March went out like a lion A-wavin' up the weather in the bay Then April cried and stepped aside And lone came pretty little May! May was full of promises But she didn't keep it quick enough for some And the crowd up doubtin' of promises Was predictin' that the summer'd never come
Men: But the summer's by God We can feel it come You can feel it in your heart You can see it in the ground
Girls: You can see it in the trees You can smell it in the breeze
All: Look around! Look around! Look around!
Nettie: June is bustin' out all over The ladies and men are payin' court Lots of ships are keepin' anchor Just because the captain hanker For the comfort they can only get in port
Chorus: You can hear it comin'!
Nettie: June is bustin' out all over The moonlight is shining on the shore And the girls who were contrary With the boys in January Aren't nearly for contrary anymore!
Nettie and Chorus: Because it's June... June, June, June Just because it's June, June, June!
