Lyrics 'Tis Autumn (1993 Digital Remaster) - Nat King Cole Trio

Old Father time checked, so there'd be no doubt
Called on the North wind to come on out
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout
"La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!"

The trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit
Charmed on the wayside, there's no dispute
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!

Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision
Turned about and made a beeline to the south

My holding you close really is no crime
Ask the birds and the trees and old Father Time
It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn

It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
