歌詞

One two three, a single leaf

Came spinning through the door

The first leaf of the season came

Uninvited, gold and dry

It waltzed in through the window gap

And curtsied a hello— goodbye

Well, one dance then, little leaf

Since you've come all this way

Waltz with me, September's first

The kitchen floor is yours

Like a tree that's planted by the stream

Whose leaf shall never fall — but yours did, and that's fine

The lamb pursues the spinning guest

With hops of pure delight

It bows, the leaf spins out of reach

The fairest dance in sight

The kettle keeps the three-four time

The steam sways on its own

Waltz with me, September's first

The kitchen floor is yours

The whole bright fall is on its way

And this leaf held the doors

A season sends a herald first

One small and golden scout

And if you dance with it a while

It tells you what's about

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Waltz with me, September's first

The kitchen floor is yours

The whole bright fall is on its way

And this leaf held the doors

Waltz with me, September's first

The kitchen floor is yours

The whole bright fall is on its way

And this leaf held the doors

One two three, the leaf lies down

Its dancing duty done
