“Autumn Leaves Are Falling” 
1. Autumn leaves are now falling;
Red and yellow and brown;
Autumn leaves are now falling,
See them fluttering down.
Refrain:
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la.
2.
Autumn leaves from the tree tops
Flutter down to the ground,
When the wind blows his trumpet,
They go whirling around.
Refrain
3. Autumn leaves they’re tired,
In a soft huddled heap,
At the foot of the old tree,
Soon will fall fast asleep.
Refrain
