Aprils Empire by The Duke of Uke and His Novelty Orchestra Lyrics

[Intro]
Everybody ready?
(I was born ready)
Let's do it! One, two...

[Verse 1]
Trumpet flowers blow, tidy tips and sunshine daisies
Merry marigolds, China pinks and yellow cosmos
(Larkspur lilac, Flora's bell, sweet narcissus, bliss hazel)
Rise (Rise, rise, rise...), arise from your sleep (Sleep, sleep, sleep...)
Larkspur of Peru (Ooh), lilac of Crete (Crete, Crete, Crete...)
Awake (Wake, wake, wake...) from your quaking glade, lay (Lay, lay, lay...)
Enchanter's nightshade (Ooh) unfold today

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Arise, April's empire arrives
We'll see how sweetly her breezes blow beneath her chroma-keyed skies
Realize, autumnal dirges are lies
From slumber's urges we're torn and then reborn again in July, ain't that right!
[Verse 2]
Trumpet flowers blow, tidy tips and sunshine daisies
Merry marigolds, China pinks and yellow cosmos
(Stargaze lily, Queen Anne's Lace, gloriosa, blue snowflake)
Awake (Wake, wake, wake...), all you glories of snow (Snow, snow, snow...)
Stargazing willow (Ooh) strum Azalea's bow (Bow, bow, bow...)
Arise (Rise, rise, rise...), April's empire arrives (-Rives, -rives, -rives...)
Stirring plums from their slumber (Ooh), wiping sleep from her eyes

[Outro]
I knew right then how there is no end now, I know the way
I knew it when I went through it then, I realized that I would rise again someday (I know the way)
