Little bread and butterflies kiss the tulips And the sun is like a toy balloon There are get-up-in-the-morning glories In the golden afternoon There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside String of violets all in tune Tiger lillies love the dandelions In the golden afternoon The golden afternoon There are dog and caterpillars And a copper centipede Where the lazy daisies Love the very peaceful life they lead You can learn a lot of things from the flowers For especially in the month of June There's a wealth of happiness and romance All in the golden afternoon All in the golden afternoon The golden afternoon Oh, you can learn a lot of things from the flowers For especially in the month of June There's a wealth of happiness and romance All in the golden afternoon
