Miss Butter's Lament - Nilsson

Waiting around for the first breath of spring

Nobody else seems to care

She waits patiently for the knowledge that she will

Have so much to give to someone

Waiting around for the knock at the door

Gentleman callers beware

Hoping to see all the flowers and candy he’s offered her

In every dream she’s ever had

Mmmmmmm

She don’t mind all the waiting around for someone to come along

Knows she’s about to be found before too long

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

She don’t mind all the waiting around for someone to come along

Knows she’s about to be found before too long

Waiting around for the first breath of spring,

She never noticed the snow on the ground.

Spring never made it;

Somebody delayed it

For her again

Like the year before

And the year before

And the year before

And the year before

And the year before
