Intro: Verse The family garden is a special place In sun and shade there, I was raised But voices fade away and rooms are rearranged Now I'm the family gardener Verse You need a stethoscope and a good good rake Some beer for snails and a rope for snakes A flowerbed to fall in as the moonlight breaks When you're the family gardener And I'm the family gardener Bridge As I look down with my two eyes and my two green thumbs I despise the people who walk on the green green grass I grew with my watered love Instrumental Verse Now some other son sleeps in the southern wing And someone else's mother sits to paint the pastoral scene My father always said that I would never amount to anything But I'm the family gardener I'm the family gardener I'm the family gardener Ending
