Flitterin is a song from the film Summer Magic, written by The Sherman Brothers. An instrumental version of it can be heard on Main Street, U.S.A.
Plot
The delivery of the piano
Upset about having to give up their old piano because of their failing finances, the Carey family gathers around their newer, much cheeper, "player piano" for a happy tune about new beginings.
Lyrics
It's time for flitterin'
Dusting off the trunk an flitterin' far
Where the grass is greener
Now and then, comes the time again
For flitterin'
We'll soon be packing up
Stacking up our dreams to rick-a-rack for
Some new destination
Don't know where, but we're going there
We're flitterin' again
New places, new faces, new friendships will start
While old places, old faces
Stay dear to our hears as we go
Flitterin' following a rainbow glittering bright
Over the horizen maybe then and maybe there
We'll settle down and never care
For flitterin', flitterin', flitterin', again
