Memphis in June

Memphis in June

A shady veranda

Under a Sunday blue sky

Memphis in June

And cousin Amanda's

Making a rhubarb pie

I can hear the clock inside

Tickin' and a-tockin'

Everything's so peacefully dandy

And I can see old Granny

'Cross the street still a-rockin'

Watching the neighbors go by

Memphis in June

And the sweet oleanders

Blowin' perfume in the air

Up jumps a moon

To make it that much grander

It's paradise

Brother, take my advice

Nothing's half as nice as Memphis in June

I can hear the clock inside

Tickin' and a-tockin'

Everything's so peacefully dandy

And I can see old Granny

'Cross the street still a-rockin'

Watching the neighbors go by

Memphis in June

And the sweet oleanders

Blowin' perfume in the air

Up jumps a moon

To make it that much grander

It's paradise

Brother, take my advice

Nothing's half as nice as Memphis in June
