My Garden Of Love - Benny Hill

Chorus

The sun and the rain fell from up above,

And landed on the earth below, in my garden of love.

Now there’s a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met,

A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget,

A pine tree for the way I pined over you,

And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true.

And

Now there’s a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date,

A turnip for the way you always used to turn up late,

Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come,

So in their honour I have raised a nice Chris-and-the-mum.

And

Now there’s a beet root for the day you said that you’d beet root to me,

A sweat pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me,

But you had friends who needed you, there was Ferdi, there was Liza,

So just for them I put down a load of Ferdi-Liza.

And

But Gus the gardener’s left now, and you went with him too,

The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you.

Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown,

The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn' t face the fuchsia all alone.

And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above,

And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.
