Johnny Come Lately |
| I’m sorry you couldn’t make it You could have seen him, so weathered and dated |
| And I know that you would hate him |
| If you’d seen his botanical leanings |
| First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit |
| He was a Johnny Come Lately |
| And I know that you would hate me If I envied the things that he spoke of How I envied the things that he thought of He was a Johnny Come Lately |
| And I know that you would hate me If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind |
| To find out how to make a garden grow |
| But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil |
| He didn’t need us, just tempted us and teased us You could have been here, wishing you were here |
| He was a Johnny Come Lately |
| And I know that you would hate me He was a Johnny Come Lately |
| And I know that you would hate me If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind |
| To find out how to make a garden grow |
| Where the sun no longer shines |
| He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound |
| But I must have cast them all on stony ground |
| And now the sun won’t shine |
| I must have asked too many questions |
| And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow |
| But he never gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil |
