Tulips and Daisies

By Jackie Cytrynbaum

in Tuning Into Nature by Fran Avni & Jackie Cytrynbaum

Lyrics

Jennifer Jones was in her garden one day

Singing a song la la lo- o -ow.

Marigolds and lilacs, bluebells too

How do your flowers grow?

 

Ethel the earthworm wriggled to the ground

Pushing new earth up ahead.

Thank you for a most delicious lunch,

The tulips and daisies said

The tulips and daisies said.

 

Dig a hole, plant a seed

Rain from the clouds will fall.

Dig a hole, plant a seed

The sun will shine on them all.

 

Wriggle like a worm, push the earth

Rain from the clouds will fall

Wriggle like a worm, push the earth

The sun will shine on them all.

 

Barney the bee stood on a rose so red

Long enough to take a little drink

He went to sleep on a rose so white

Now there's a rose that is pink.

 

Buzz like a bee, wipe your feet

Rain from the clouds will fall.

Buzz like a bee, wipe your feet

The sun will shine on them all.

 

Jennifer Jones was in her garden one day

Singing a song la la lo- o -ow

Marigolds and lilacs, bluebells too

How do your flowers grow?
