Published by: Michael Brent Publications Inc. 230743

Theme:  Spring program.  A fun song to sing about allergies to flowers in spring.  A great take on the original G&S.

Voicing: Unison/2part or Mixed chorus, with piano accompaniment.  Performance recording available.
Key: Eb major
​Vocal Range: 










​Meter, Time Signature, Tempo: 6/8 - Allegro Moderato.  Lilting, like waving daffodils!
Notes: 
A challenge with the octave leaps in the melody. 
Switching from singing voice to the ah-choo voice.
A Children's choir can sing this in unison.   
​Great introduction to the names of spring flowers. 


Words
The flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO
The flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO!
The buds and the pollens they bring, AH-CHOO!
I am so allergic, Ah-choo, are you?

1. to lilacs and lilies and tulips, oh!
What in the world can I do?
They're hither and thither wherever I go,
just waiting to get in my sinus, oh no!

They bloom and bloom oh! how they bloom
the flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO!
They bloom and bloom oh! how they bloom
the flowers that bloom in the spring.

**** 

The flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO
The flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO!
The buds and the pollens they bring, AH-CHOO!
I am so allergic, Ah-choo, are you?

2. to crocus, narcissus and clover, oh!
What in the world can I do? 
They grow in the country, they grow in the mall,
they look very pretty, but watch it, y'all:

They bloom and bloom oh! how they bloom

the flowers that bloom in the spring, AH-CHOO!
They bloom and bloom oh! how they bloom
the flowers that bloom in the spring.
​AH-CHOO!
