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 You need a stethoscope and a good good rake some beer for sanils and a rope for snakes a flowerber to fall in as the moonlight breaks when you're the family gardener As I Look down with my two eyes and my two green thumbs I despise all the people who walk on the green green grass I grew with my watered love 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
