Upset about having to give up their family's treasured piano because of their failing finances, the Careys gather around their newer, much cheaper, "player piano" for a happy tune about new beginnings.

Gilly:
It's time for flitterin',
Dustin' off the trunk and flitterin' far,
Where the grass is greener,
Gilly and Nancy:
Now and then, comes the time again,
For flitterin'
We'll soon be packin' up,
Stackin' up our dreams and bric-a-brac for
Some new destination
Don't know where, but we're goin' there,
We're flitterin' again
New places, new faces,
New friendships will start,
While old places, old faces,
Stay dear to our heart
As we go flitterin',
Followin' a rainbow,
Glitterin' bright
Over the horizon,
Maybe then and maybe there,
We'll settle down and never care
For flitterin', flitterin', flitterin', again
As we go flitterin',
Followin' a rainbow,
Glitterin' bright
Over the horizon,
Maybe then and maybe there,
We'll settle down and never care
For flitterin', flitterin', flitterin', again
