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 flocks
Meadowsweet
And lady smocks
Gentian lupine
And tall hollyhocks
Roses foxgloves
Snowdrops
Blue forget-me-nots
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
Those I miss
you'll surely pardon
Fireflies moths
Gnats and bees
Spiders climbing
in the trees
Butterflies that sway
on the cool gentle breeze
There are snakes
Ants that sting
And creeping things
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
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
Robins
Don't forget the robins
Robins
Don't forget the robins
