Talk to her please, Mr. Sun
Speak to her, Mr. Rainbow
And take her under your branches
Mr. Tree

Whisper to her, Mr. Wind
Sing to her, Mr. Robin
And Mrs Moonlight
Put in a word for me

Tell her how I feel
It shouldn't end this way
And since you are all her friends
She'll listen to whatever you have to say

Babble to her, Mr. Brook
Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop
And watch to see they all do
Please, Mr. Sun

Babble to her, Mr. Brook
Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop
And watch to see they all do
Please, Mr. Sun
