Franklin and Ella

See that bright fellow out there?

Yup, he’s a sturdy young whipper snapper.

Boy, he’s always got that smile, don’t he?
I saw his frame cast a shadow 12 feet long!
And, he’s a doer, ya know. I’ve seen him pluck weeds even while it’s raining!
Let me tell ya, the wind blowin’ through the tassels of that corn is his favorite tune.
He sure gets to being all knees and elbows, he does.

‘Bout the only thing to turn his head is that sweetie up the way.
Aw, she’s a cutie alright.
I’ve seen her stealin’ a few looks at him for herself.
There’s somethin’ bout her, ya know.
Why, she can take a deep breath and blow all the bugs clean off those vegetables!

There’s been some talk, I'll tell ya.
Heard he’s been hopin’ for a spiffy new shirt.
Or some duds that’ll make her blow a butterfly his way.
Now, wouldn’t that be somethin’?

Yeah, they sure are the talk of the crows now, ain't they?
Yup, they sure are somethin’.
