In Just-spring

In just-spring when the world is mud-luscious
The little lame balloon man whistles far and wee

And eddie and bill come running from marbles and piracies 
and it's spring

When the world is puddle-wonderful the queer old balloon 
man whistles far and wee and betty and isbel come dancing

From hop-scotch and jump-rope and it's spring and the 
goat-footed balloon man whistles far and wee
