In An English Country Garden Lyrics

1. How many kinds of wildflowers 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,
Gentian, lupine and hollyhocks;
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, and forget-me-nots,
In an English country garden!

2. What different insects flit 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!
Fireflies, moths, gnats and bees,
Spiders climbing in the trees,
Butterflies that float on the gentle breeze;
There are snakes, ants that sting,
And creepy-crawly things,
In an English country garden!

3. How many songbirds their plumage show,
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!

In an English country garden!
