Put up the mower -
Turn on the telly - football season starts today!
Fill up the beer steins -
I know it's Labor day and a hundred in the shade, now.

For we need a little autumn,
We need a little action -
Football on the telly,
Hayrides in the wagon.

Yes, we need a little autumn,
We need a little action -
The thermometer keeps soaring,
Summer dog days are so boring!

Carve up the pumpkin,
Make up a smashing good likeness of the Queen.
Welcome the Martians,
Unfurl the toilet paper on that evergreen bough.

'Cause we want to put on dresses,
Love to look like ladies.
Make up on our faces,
So we can look so pretty.
And we need a darling handbag,
And some flowing tresses.
Oh, we need a little Hallowe'en!

Oh, we cannot wait 'till autumn,
Summer's almost ending.
Kids are back in school,
Holidays are pending.
Yes, we need a little autumn -
Time for Christmas shopping.
How can we not like the Fall?

"Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few..." AH, SHADDAPP!
We need a little autumn, now.
