This Autumn
Nat King Cole
Letra

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!"



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!


(Bridge:)

Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
alt
Mmmm - 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.


(Instrumental Interlude - first 2 lines of verse)



It s just to help the mercury climb.

La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, tis au - tumn.
