I haven't got a great big yacht
But I'm contented with my lot
I've got one thing much more
beautiful and grand
I do not own a racing horse
But that don't fill me
with remorse
I possess the finest
show place in the land
So come with me and wander
to a lovely place out yonder
In the flower garden
of my heart
I've got violets as blue as
your eyes
I've got dainty narcissus
as sweet as your missus
And lilies as pure as
the skies
In the flower garden
of my heart
I've got roses as red as
your mouth
Just to keep our love holy
I've got gladioli
And sunflowers fresh from
the south
But you are the artist
And love is the art
In the flower garden
of my heart
In the flower garden
of my heart
I've got daisies to tell you
you're true
Oh the west wind will whisk us
The scent of hibiscus
And heather that's smothered
in dew
In the flower garden
of my heart
I've got lilacs and dainty
sweet peas
You will look like sweet William
And smell like a trillium
Surrounded by fond
bumble bees
You may be the pastry
But I ain't no tart
In the flower garden
of my heart
