You think that money is everything
& yet it’s anybody’s Spring
Go make a fortune,
Become a king
& still it’s anybody’s Spring
& if you flash a bank roll
Do you suppose the brook would care?
Or that a rose would say
“There goes a millionaire!”
It’s more than diamonds around a ring
Because it’s anybody’s Spring
You may be born with the silver spoon
& yet it’s anybody’s moon
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring
Burke / Van Heusen
1943
