When Your Garden's Overgrown |
| Bobby’s off on holiday |
| Away across the sea |
| Setting up his easel |
| A new scene to see |
| Says that he’s had enough |
| Of standing in the rain |
| Now he’s looking for the good life |
| With European pain |
| Did you know |
| Your garden’s overgrown — |
| And what is shown? |
| Meeting all these pretty girls |
| Singing golden hair |
| He’s in touch with the painter’s mind |
| And Syd’s unflinching stare |
| Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge |
| Sipping kaffee in Berlin |
| Might take in the coloured lights |
| In the city they call sin — |
| He could see |
| The writing on the wall — |
| Ten feet tall |
| But oh there are times |
| He wished the world |
| Would fade just into sight |
| And oh, the feelings that changed |
| Were thicker than the brush |
| Strokes of fame |
| Now he rides the dirt roads |
| Of old southern Spain |
| And when senoritas sing |
| He can hear them say — |
| Did you know |
| Your garden’s overgrown — |
| And what is shown? |
| He could see |
| The writing on the wall |
| Ten feet tall |
