[Instrumental]

I woke up this morning
MORNING I AWAKE

I had a scone and a large house blend
SCONE EAT, COFFEE DRINK

And then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends 
SQUIRREL, CHIPMUNK FRIEND [ix-loc] CONVERSE

I said I’m sick and tired of winter
I TELL-THEM WINTER SICK-OF-IT

And I wish that it was spring 
I WISH SPRING START SOON

And then a little fellow named Robin Red Breast
BIRD ROBIN FLY-DOWN

began to sing
START SING

And he sang
HE SING

Ooh ooh child, what’d you think 
[O-handshape] CHILD YOU THINK

the cold winter’s gonna last forever?
WINTER CONTINUE?

Ooh ooh child, now’s the time for all the people
[O-handshape] NOW ALL PEOPLE MUST COME-

to get together outside
TOGETHER OUTSIDE

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May 
NOW MAY 1ST, MAY 1ST

Outdoor fucking starts today
FUCK++ OUTSIDE START TODAY

So bring your favorite lady
BRING YOUR FAVORITE WOMAN

Or at least your favorite lay
OR YOUR FAVORITE HOOKER

The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe 
WATER FINE, TOE DIP-IN

Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
MAYBE I SEE-[you] NAKED

Grass below you, sky above
GRASS FLOOR, SKY

Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called 
CELEBRATE SPRING HOW?

I thanked him for the information
THANK-[him] FOR INFORM

I cried a little when he flew away
HE FLY, I CRY

I watched an episode of The People’s Court 
I WATCH TV

And I tried to plan my day
MY DAY TRY PLAN

I called up my old lady
WIFE CALL-[her]

She wasn’t home so I called my girl
NOT HOME, MY GIRL CALL-[her]

I asked her if she’d like to join me as 
I ASK-[her] IF SHE WANT TWO-OF-US

ANTS I WIPE-OFF

[O-handshape]

when we’re taking each other’s pants off outside
PANTS++ REMOVE, YOU ENJOY OUTSIDE

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
NOW MAY 1ST, MAY 1ST
