GUEST,oldhippie Req: The Garden Song, (Inch by Inch) (answered) (12) RE: Lyr Req: Garden Song (David Mallett) 'Inch by inch 15 Oct 06


There's also this parody.....


Another Garden Song

music: David Mallet
words: Tom Seiling
as recorded by Nancy Tucker



Chorus:
Inch by inch, row by row, bugs and weeds are all I grow
Just dropped a big rock on my toe, I think I broke a bone
Inch by inch, row by row, one more weed by back will go
Can't wait until it starts to snow and hides this battle zone


Blistered hands, dripping sweat, bugs and weeds ain't licked me yet
Rototiller left me in debt, no money left for seeds
Sunburned shoulders sting with pain
Weeks without a drop of rain
A horsefly's driving me insane, and woodchucks ate my beans

Repeat chorus


Dirt and pebbles fill my shoes, ivy rash on my wazoo
I got the self-sufficient blues, my luck had better turn
Pigweed, ragweed, dandelion
All these crops I grow just fine
My garden is a holy shrine to the God of cabbageworms

Repeat chorus
