There are various lyric versions to this song.These are the lyrics I usually use. I have also included an irreverent verse at the end which was included in a later version of this song! How many gentle flowers grow in an English country garden I'll tell you now of some of them I know and those I miss I'm sure you'll pardon Daffodils hearts-ease and flocks meadow sweet and lilies stocks Gentle lupins and tall hollyhocks Roses fox-gloves snowdrops forget-me-knots in an English country garden How many insects find their home in an English country garden I'll tell you now of some of them I know, and those I miss I'm sure you'll pardon Dragonflies moths and bees spiders falling from the trees Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze There are hedgehogs that roam and little garden gnomes in an English country garden How many song-birds make their nest in an English country garden I'll tell you now of some of them I know and those I miss I'm sure you'll pardon Babbling coo-cooing doves cuckoos and the warbling thrush Blue birds lark finch and the nightingale We all smile in the spring when the birds all start to sing in an English country garden Robin don't forget the robin Robin don't forget the robin Irreverent verse and outro add if you wish! Wet underfoot and the leaves are thick with soot in an English country garden Newspapers torn and strewn across the lawn in an English country garden Litter garbage in the yards little doggies' calling cards One scraggy rosebud peering through the weeds For they've all downed tools while they do their football pools in an English country garden Market join the Common Market Market join the Common Market
