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-tickin' an' a-tockin'
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see old granny 'cross the street still a-rockin'
Watching the neighbors go by
Memphis in June
And sweet oleander
Blowin' perfume in the air
Up jumps a moon
To make it that much grander
It's paradise
Brother take my advice
Nothin's half as nice
As Memphis in June
Up jumps a moon
To make it that much grander
It's paradise
Brother take my advice
Nothin's half as nice
As Memphis in June
