The leaves are blushing for the fall,  
as if the weather is their call  
( as if the summer's little flings  
and not to mention of the spring's...)  
Well, let's just say they've had a ball

Soon they'll invade suburban sprawl  
The neighborhood is one big brawl  
Leaf blower blows and chainsaw sings  
The leaves are blushing

But then the truck comes out to haul  
and neatly packages them all  
though some escape on crimson wings  
to wait for songs on fav'rite things  
That is my image of the fall  
The leaves are blushing
