Lyrics My Garden Of Love - Benny Hill

My Garden Of Love

Chorus
The sun and the rain fell from up above,
And landed on the earth below, in my garden of love.
Now there’s a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met,
A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget,
A pine tree for the way I pined over you,
And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true.
And
Now there’s a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date,
A turnip for the way you always used to turn up late,
Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come,
So in their honour I have raised a nice Chris-and-the-mum.
And
Now there’s a beet root for the day you said that you’d beet root to me,
A sweat pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me,
But you had friends who needed you, there was Ferdi, there was Liza,
So just for them I put down a load of Ferdi-Liza.
And
But Gus the gardener’s left now, and you went with him too,
The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you.
Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown,
The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn' t face the fuchsia all alone.
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above,
And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.
