Broken-Hearted Lover's StewThe TV version (which opened December 23, 1970) skipped
the second verse, maybe because of some of the lyrics were
in "My Garden of Love" which Benny performed March 11, 1970.

| Chorus: |
| And there's a Cmheartache and a memory and Bbjust a tear or two, |
| AbIn a broken-G7hearted lover's Cmstew. G7 Cm |
|
| There are nine Cmcarrots to remind me of the Fmring I bought for you, |
| Some Bbmint for all the crazy Ebthings we mint to do, |
| A Cmlettuce 'cause your mom and dad would Fmnot let us alone, |
| I Bbwon't put in the truffles, you've got Ebtruffles of your G7own. |
| An Cmartichoke for the 'earty jokes your Bbfather used to tell, |
| And Abas he was a Welshman we'll G7have a leek as well. |
| And your Fmcousin, the religious one, so Cmsanctimonious, |
| For G7him some loaves and fishes 'cause that's all he ever Cmdoes. G7 Cm |
|
| Chorus |
|
| There is a Cmradish 'cause you kept repeating Fmthat your love was true, |
| A Bbbeet root for the way I said that EbI'd beet root to you, |
| Some Cmshallots for the times I said I Fmlove you such-shallot, |
| Some Bbcapers to remind me of what Ebup to which we G7got. |
| A Cmturnip for the way you always Bbused to turnip late, |
| A Abmelon for the melancholy G7way I used to wait. |
| A Fmchili for how I felt while CmI waited for you, |
| And a G7marrow to remind me of what I was frozen Cmto. G7 Cm |
|
| Chorus |
|
| There is a Cmswede to remind me of the Fmman you left for me, |
| An Bbegg because you used to egg me Ebon incessantly, |
| And your Cmlittle baby brother, what a Fmmessy little kid, |
| For Bbhim some wine and water 'cause that's Eball he ever G7did. |
| Oh CmI was fond of olives and Bbyou liked herbs I know, |
| I Abgave up seeing Olive but Herb G7didn't want to go. |
| So Fmfor the man who won you there is Cmone thing I must do, |
| But G7in some sage and onions 'cause he wants stuffing Cmtoo. G7 Cm |
|
| Chorus |
| Oh poo! Cm9maj7 |
