THE PEONY BUSH (Meredith Willson - as recorded by Danny Kaye) 'Twas the peony bush there in my garden That made you turn around and smile at me. Not the zinnias or gardenias with their fragrant perfume, Forget-me-nots in fancy pots or orchids in-a bloom; But the peony bush there in my garden It did the trick as quick as one-two-three. Please decorate my garden gate forever And never will there be any bush. But the peony bush for me. Every rose, every tree, every bird and bee Seem to rate a rondolet or two. So a slight poetic push for my favorite bush Would seem to be long overdue. 'Twas the peony bush there in my garden That made you turn around and smile at me. Not the zinnias or gardenias with their fragrant perfume, Forget-me-nots in fancy pots or orchids in-a bloom; But the peony bush there in my garden It did the trick as quick as one-two-three. Please decorate my garden gate forever And never will there be any bush, But the peony bush for me. transcribed by ear from Danny Kaye - Cocktail Hour, a compilation by Allegro. I may have misunderstood a word or two here and there, but I think it's a pretty accurate transcription. "And never will there be any bush But the peony bush for me" was a bit hard to pick out, but that must be it. Fun song, but weird. But then, my kids think I'm weird. -Joe Offer- |
