lyrics

The Houston skyline at night, is a beautiful sight
Towering above the faces of black brown and white
When it’s springtime down in the ‘trose

Breath in the farmers market air, buy you and apple or pear
Then hit Menil Park for a picnic there
When its springtime, down in the ‘trose

See every art car in town, out toolin’ around
Blairin’ that crazy Sideshow sound
And the ladies are as fine as vanillin wine
Girl you’d better turn your damper down.

There’s a smile on the face of each and every race
There ain’t nothing like it in any other place
When its springtime down in the ‘trose

See the Chinese meditating, Deidrichs coffee percolating
Hear the train whistle blow from down at Main Street Station
Baby, its springtime, down in the ‘Trose

Whop bop bebop bedip bop boo if ya know the right guy
There’s always something to do
When its springtime, down in the ‘Trose

Hear the bells of St. Thomas and Annunciation too
Chiming a lovers beat for me and you
And those thrift store girls with their fashions so fine
Hey fellas, ain’t it divine

There’s a smile on the face of each and every race
There ain’t nothing like it in any other place
When its springtime down in the ‘Trose
