We'll tell you now of
some that we know
Those we miss you'll
surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's
ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady
smocks
Gentian, lupine and
tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves,
snowdrops, blue
forget-me-nots
In an English
country garden.

How many insects come
here and go
In an English
country garden?
We'll tell you now
of some that we know
Those we miss you'll
surely pardon
Fireflies, moths,
gnats and bees
Spiders climbing
in the trees
Butterflies drift in
the gentle breeze
There are snakes,
ants that sting
And other creeping
things
In an English country garden.

How many songbirds
fly to and fro
In an English
country garden?
We'll tell you now
of some that we know
Those we miss
you'll surely pardon
Bobolink, cuckoo
and quail
Tanager and cardinal
Bluebird, lark,
thrush and nightingale
There is joy in
the spring
When the birds
begin to sing
In an English
country garden.

How many kinds of
sweet flowers grow
In an English
country garden?
We'll tell you now
of some that we know
Those we miss
you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's
ease and flox
Meadowsweet and
lady smocks
Gentain, lupine
and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves,
snowdrops, blue
forget-me-nots
In an English
country garden.
