Benny Hill Sings?Benny Hill... The Best Of
My Garden of Love
Chorus:
The ^Csun and the rain fell from up above,
And ^Flanded on the ^G7earth below, ^G7-tacetin my garden of ^Clove.
Now there's a ^Crose for the way my spirits ^Frose when we ^G7met,
A for^Cget-me-not to remind me to re^Fmember not to for^G7get,
A ^Cpine tree for the ^G7way I ^Fpined over ^G7you,
And an ^Cash for the day I ^Fashed you to be ^G7true. And
Chorus
Now there's a ^Cpalm tree that we planted when ^Fwe had our first ^G7date,
A ^Cturnip for the way you always ^Fused to turn up ^G7late,
Your ^Cmother and your ^G7cousin Chris, they ^Foften used to ^G7come,
So ^Cin their honour I have raised a ^Fnice Chris-and-the-^G7mum. And
Chorus
Now there's a ^Cbeet root for the day you said that ^Fyou'd beet root to ^G7me,
A ^Csweat pea for the sweet way you ^Falways smiled at ^G7me,
But ^Cyou had friends who ^G7needed you, there was ^FFerdi, there was ^G7Liza,
So ^Cjust for them I put down a ^Fload of Ferdi-^G7Liza. And
Chorus
But ^CGus the gardener's left now, and ^Fyou went with him ^G7too,
The ^Cfungus there reminds me of the ^Ffun Gus is having with ^G7you.
Now the ^Crockery's a ^G7mockery, with ^Fweeds it's over^G7grown,
The ^Cfuchsia's gone, I couldn' t face the ^Ffuchsia all a^G7lone.
And my ^Ctears fell like raindrops from the sky above,
And ^Fpoisoned all the ^G7flowers ^n/cin my garden of ^Clove.
