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 a-ticking and a-tocking
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see old Granny across the street still a-rocking
Watching the neighbors go by

Memphis in June with sweet oleander
Blowing 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 a-ticking and a-tocking

It's paradise, brother, take my advice
