In Just-
Spring when the world is mud-
Luscious the little
Lame balloonman

Whistles far and wee

And eddieandbill come
Running from marbles and
Piracies and it’s
Spring

When the world is puddle-wonderful

The queer
Old balloonman whistles
Far and wee
And bettyandisbel come dancing

From hop-scotch and jump-rope and
It’s
Spring
And
The
Goat-footed

BalloonMan whistles
Far
And
Wee
