Great lyrics to this song: Once I was a sentimental thing
Threw my heart away each Spring;
Now a Spring romance hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to Winter;
All I've got to show's a splinter for my little fling!

Spring this year has got me feeling like a horse that never left the post;
I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most!

Morning's kiss wakes TREEES and flowers
And to them I'd like to drink a toast;
I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours
Spring Can really Hang You Up The Most

All afternoon those birds twitter twit
I know the tune, "This is love, this is it!"
Heard it before and I know the score
And I've decided that Spring is a bore!

Love seemed sure around the New Year
Now it's April, love is just a ghost;
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you, dear?
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most!

As a child of the 70's my intro to Bob Dorough was through his School House Rock! contributions, ha ha! And Blossom Dearie and Grady Tate. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dorough once, and thanked him for helping me learn my multiplication tables.
