Name: Daffodils
Duration: P00H01M30S
Description: The daffodils are coming up in my yard and beginning to swell at the tips where the blooms will come. I have joked for years that they are "daffing" at this stage, and that they are "dilling" when they bloom. So I wrote this piece of fluff and it took off from there.

about

The daffodils are coming up in my yard and beginning to swell at the tips where the blooms will come. I have joked for years that they are "daffing" at this stage, and that they are "dilling" when they bloom. So I wrote this piece of fluff and it took off from there.

lyrics

O the daffodils are daff-ing
With the little budlets laughing
They soon will spit in half-ing
When they blossom like a cheer
When the daffodils are dilling
And the tulips showing willing
And spring is coming here

Still we thrill when silly little rills
Overspill with frilly daffodils

When the tulips are a-blooming
And the kitty cats are zooming
We are sure that spring is looming
On the far side of the hill
Then the birds will all be warning
And their foes likewise performing
Way too early in the morning
And we’ll wish that they would chill.

Still we thrill when silly little rills
Overspill with frilly daffodils

Still we thrill when silly little rills
Overspill with frilly daffodils
