A Local School Song, circa 1950
I want to wake up in the morning
where the orange blossoms grow,
where the sun comes peepin in
where I'm sleepin
and songbirds say hello.
I want to wander in the orange grove
where children like to play,
so I'll make my home in Florida
where the orange blossoms grow.
