August 27th – “English Country Gardens”

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you’ll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart’s ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentain, lupine and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden
(In an English country garden)How many insects come here and go
Through our English country garden?
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you’ll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze
Their are snakes, ants that sting
And creeping things
In an English country garden
(In an English country garden)How many songbirds fly to and fro
Through our English country garden?
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those I 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
(In an English country garden)

Robin (Robin, robin)
Don’t forget the robin (Don’t forget the robin)
Robin (Robin, robin)
Don’t forget the robin
(Whistle……..FADE)
