"See how the breeze turns pirouettes, rattles the doors like castanets!" From 1981, Bob (Bob McGrath) sings "Windy Day", written by Stephen Lawrence and Madeline Sunshine. In honour of today's wind here in Toronto, but mostly to make up for missing Bob's 89th birthday on Sunday (June 13). Mucho thanks and cyberhugs to @Sesame Maniac. Most of the lyrics below were originally transcribed by the blessing that is/was SlvrSlprz@aol.com.
YOUTUBE NOTE: No YouTube playlist link. Get used to it. As I was preparing this long overdue post, I was devastated to realize YT had deleted 15 of my lovingly curated playlists :-( I've been adding to, erasing, alphabetizing, and sharing those suckers for 11 years now. Feels like I've lost my kids!
LYRICS:
Windy day
See how the breeze plays hide-and-seek
Tickles the trees, makes windows creak
Carries the leaves away
My, oh my, it's a windy day
Windy day
See how the breeze turns pirouettes
Rattles the doors like castanets
Whirls and the treetops sway
My, oh my, it's a windy day
The breeze whistles by
Whispers high
What a lovely sound
It knocks off my hat
Fancy that!
It blows my hair around
Windy day
Look how the breeze spins like a top
Swirls through the grass and never stops
Dances me on my way
My, oh my, it's a windy, windy, windy day
It's a windy, windy, windy day
