For many years I
only thought of money.
For many years I only thought of wealth.
Till one day I saw a bee sipping honey,
and that bee was a picture of health.
If the flowers could do so much for a bee,
I wondered what could those
flowers do for me.
So I buys an acre of good green,
Now, commutin' with nature
and mother right
I'm livin' a clean life,
surrounded by dirt
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
I spend hours makin' pretty flowers grow
I go trippin' amidst the tulips
Spreadin' pollen with my little rake and hoe
In the mornin' I blush with the roses
In the evenin' I cling with the vine
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
And every part is a body of mine
You know folks,
I love to stroll to a garden at eventide
When the flowers are happiest,
what a sight
The black -eyed
Susies are puttin' on their mascara
The boys and berries are flirting with
the girls and berries,
and the poinsettias are
sitting on their little points.
You know, I've always loved nature
ever since I was a little boy.
I'll never forget when my father
took me on his knee
and told me about the birds and the bees.
In fact, he told it so well,
that now I can't get used to girls.
Ah, I love to be close to the yikes.
First, you're alone with a little seed.
You plant the seed
and soon you're alone with a little bud
The bud blossoms
and soon you're alone
with a little onion
You eat the onion and boy,
are you alone
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
All the pansies always
greet me with a joke
They show affection for my protection
Why, I'll kill the guy
who made the provost croak
In the springtime, gild all the lilies
In the autumn, I paint the leaves brown
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
But my hay fever's bringing me down
Yes, sir, my hay fever's
bringing me down
