LYRICS

Memphis in June
A shady veranda under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And my cousin Amanda she's making a blueberry pie
I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking
Everything is so peaceful and dandy
I can see my old granny 'cross the street still a rocking
Watching the neighbours go by oh my

Memphis in June
Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air
Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander
It's paradise brother take my advice
There's nothing as nice as Memphis in June
