lyrics

The Gardener

The gardener goes to work
He does it every day
The gardener mixes compost
And the farmer makes the hay

The gardener gets his fork
His spade and trowel and hoe
There's never any love lost
Between the gardener and the mole

The gardener cuts the grass
And pulls up all the weeds
He has to bend his back right down
To sprinkle all the seeds

Go gardener
Tend your plot
Go gardener

The gardener feeds the birds
With peanuts and sunflowers
He checks the sky above him
For signs of April showers

The gardener gets the hose
And aims right for the stem
Tries not to catch his shirt
The thorns will tear the hem

Go gardener
Tend your plot
Go gardener
The weather's getting hot

The gardener goes to work
He does it every day
The gardener mixes compost
And the farmer makes the hay
He makes the hay
He makes the hay
The farmer makes the hay
The farmer makes the hay
Makes the hay
