June

A portrait in a parlor
A fancy dame or two
A dog named Ruffles singing
In front of you-know-who

A rinny-tin piano
Plunks out a tinny tune
And this ole western cowboy
Is heading home for June

But June has got her dander up
And will not hear of me
Singing in her kitchen
For all the world to hear

Oh, the sunny side of life
Has got charisma – yes!
And when its got a smile 
That’s when I'm at my best!

So have a drink or two
And hum a ditty tune –
I’m heading back to town
And far away from June!
