Harry Nilsson
Butters Lament
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
Nobody else seems to care
Biding my time with the knowledge that I
Will have so much to give to someone

[Verse 2]
Waiting around for a knock on the door
Gentleman callers, beware
Hoping to see all the flowers and candy
He's offered me in every dream I've ever had

[Bridge]
I don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
Know I'm about to be found before too long

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I don't mind all the waiting around
(She her waiting patiently, anothеr day)
For someone to come along
(Whеre no one seems to come along)
Know I'm about to be found before too long
[Verse 3]
Waiting around for the first day of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it, somebody delayed it
For her again, like the year before

[Outro]
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before
And the year before, and the year before…
