Frank Loesser wrote the words and music for “Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year” in 1944. A now forgotten crooner Johnnie Johnston made the first recording.

Bob,

Thanks for reviving this beauty. I had not used the intro and verse before, but your chart prompted me to include them.

This is my interpretation:

Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year-Rev JE - Frank Loesser

Cheers,
Jer

Thanks again Jer, that makes me happy.

Sometimes spring comes a little late...but Christmas comes a little early...
