[Verse 1]
There should be Gflowers Call around Gme 
Gbut when I look around not one can I Dsee
If it only takes Cdirt to make flowers gGrow
Gthere should be bouquets in the dDirt that you thGrow.
[Chorus]
I gave them the Crain that falls from my facGe
Gthere's not one petal, not even a trDace.
And I can't understCand, why flowers won't grGow
GCause there should be bouquets in the dDirt that you thrGow.
[Verse 2]
GOrchids and violets, rosCes entwiGne
Gbeautiful gardens they all should be mDine.
cause misery and sCorrow that's all that you sGow
Gand there should be bouquets in the dDirt that you thGrow.
