To old Bill Skinner's stream
Do tell at the noonday bell

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
On a trip on down to wonderland

Where time gets lost with no straw boss

Do tell at the noonday bell
It's time for a summertime dream
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]

And down below's a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please

So if you come 'round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Let's steal away in the noonday sun
It's time for a summertime dream
[Guitar Solo]
