Of course, the Kipper Family said it best:

"Oh the springtime it is comen,

And the girls are in a dither:
'Tis the wild mounting time,
And I am wondering whether...

   "Do you go, lassie, go,
   And will we go together
   At the wild mounting time
   Or will I get bloomin' Heather?
   Do you go, lassie, go?

"Oh my love is like a swan,

With the whiteness of its feather,
But her friend is like a goose,
And they call her Bloomin' Heather...

   CHORUS
"I will build my love a mower,

And cut down that bloomin' Heather,
So at the wild mounting time,
My love will be mine forever...

   CHORUS
"But if my love she will not go,

Then I surely will not bother,
For at the wild mounting time,
I could even fancy Heather..."

   "The Ever Decreasing Circle," by

       Henry Kipper and his boy Sid
