Words by Oscar Hammerstein II, Music by Richard Rodgers as their only film score |
|
Performed by Louanne Hogan dubbing for Jeanne Crain in the 1945 film "State |
|
Fair", also starring Dana Andrews and Dick Haymes. In the 1962 film re-make, |
|
Anita Gordon dubbed for Pamela Tiffin. |
|
Was a # 5 hit for Haymes in 1945 |
|
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm |
|
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string |
|
I'd say that I had Spring fever |
|
But I know it isn't Spring |
|
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented |
|
Like a nightingale without a song to sing |
|
Oh, why should I have Spring fever |
|
When it isn't even Spring? |
|
I keep wishing I were somewhere else |
|
Walking down a strange new street |
|
Hearing words that I have never heard |
|
>From a girl I've yet to meet |
|
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams |
|
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing |
|
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing |
|
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way |
|
That it might as well be Spring |
|
It might as well be Spring |
