The Lyrics
I added a verse to the original number.
Twice a year as seasons blend
And the tilt of the Earth’s axis means not a thing
You can balance eggs on end
And rejoice that winter, summer have lost their sting
Now sunshine gaily mocks, and life is but a pox
Sadness clouds my Vernal Equinox
Spring is here, where then is my Young Man’s Fancy?
Spring is here, why haven’t my pants grown antsy?
Should be thinking things that are quite naughty
But the deadline looms for my 1040
Spring is here, where then is the verdant meadow?
Spring is here, so shouldn’t I leave my bed? No!
I could lift my face to balmy breezes
And enjoy the growing season’s sneezes
Spring is here, at least that is my impression
Robins jeer, where is my poor heart’s obsession?
Maybe she sees I’ve caught Hart’s depression
Spring is here, I fear
And the tilt of the Earth’s axis means not a thing
You can balance eggs on end
And rejoice that winter, summer have lost their sting
Now sunshine gaily mocks, and life is but a pox
Sadness clouds my Vernal Equinox
Spring is here, where then is my Young Man’s Fancy?
Spring is here, why haven’t my pants grown antsy?
Should be thinking things that are quite naughty
But the deadline looms for my 1040
Spring is here, where then is the verdant meadow?
Spring is here, so shouldn’t I leave my bed? No!
I could lift my face to balmy breezes
And enjoy the growing season’s sneezes
Spring is here, at least that is my impression
Robins jeer, where is my poor heart’s obsession?
Maybe she sees I’ve caught Hart’s depression
Spring is here, I fear

My sympathies for your affliction. Like any natural delights, you have to be in a position to enjoy them. Hope it's not keeping you bedridden.
I didn't know this OS so checked out two versions, Frank Sinatra's and Rosemary Clooney's. For some reason the first verse didn't match up at all, and you seem to have extra lines in a couple of verses. I had a lot of difficulty following. I know your usual pacing standards so it might be some other problem - revised lyrics perhaps. For that reason I'll abstain from voting.

Sinatra's lyrics are for a completely different song. Check out Rodgers & Hart or Ella Fitzgerald for Spring is Here. This is the standard of standards.
They're writing songs of crap/ But not for me/ The lyrics are pure pap/ But not for me/ With junk to lead the way/ I've seen more skies of gray/ Than any Screamin' Jay could guarantee/ I was a fool to write/ Old songs so fey/ Heigh-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day/ Although I can't dismiss/ The all-fives puerile kiss/ I guess it's not for me. That's G-E-R-S-H-W-I-N.
Ah, so I was listening to Gershwin, that explains it - my apologies. I did search Rodgers and Hart on YouTube and that's what came up. Still, the topic doesn't quite put a spring in my step (though I guess that's the point), so I'm voting 544. And keep those fey old tunes coming - there are a few regulars long in tooth and musical memories.
