 Wake Up, September Copyright 2005 by Adam Selzer. All rights reserved, ASCAP
Wake up september It's nearly 9:00 It was time to start raining Half an hour ago Moira's on the corner, just outside her building doing a rain dance in her Tribly hat, her beads and fake fur coat The costume she's been waiting To put back on again Whistling the love theme From a quarter after ten Every year when it gets hot She has to put herself away Wake up september Wash away the last of the summer days la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Moira dreams the whole wide world Had stayed in black and white With the soundtrack of the classic movies Playing all the time Her efficiency apartment is right above a place That according to the stories as a favorite of Capone And she dances there she wonders how she can tell her folks That she changed her name from Bernstein To St. Vincent Millay The costume she's been waiting To put back on again Whistling the love theme From a quarter after ten Every year in summertime She has to put herself away I wish she'd let me kiss her like that Bogart movie where the music plays like lalala.. The costume she's been waiting To put back on again Whistling the love theme From a quarter after ten Every year in summertime She has to put herself away Moira laughs as the first few raindrops splatter down upon her face lalala...
