Welcome to my little house, I keep it neat and right The bed is warm, the fridge is full, the fence is pearly white But this back yard is sad and grey so I’ve a plan to hatch A wonderland of greenery, it’s my own garden patch Here I’ll grow my roses, oh, what pretty friends they’ll be Just hopefully no thorny bits that could jab or stick me There will grow my carrots, yummy on my dinner plate But if they’re knobbly, will I love them just as if they grew up straight? No, I’m prepared No, I’m not scared I’ve even got the hoe out and her teeth are bared Hand’s in my glove Sun’s up above Time to go, time to sow this leafy labour of love The time is now To get underway Today’s the day (x4) I’ve read the books and got the gear, learnt how to plant and plough I’ve read subthreads on Reddit, trawled through all of Wikihow I’m in groups on Facebook where they talk a lot of poo Which is fertilizer, plant food! You can look it up, it’s true For example, I read you can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think I’ve thought lots about this, and I can’t see the link What if the plants grow wonky? Oh, what if they flop and fall? What if they wither, wilt, rot, shrink, what if they never grow at all? What if my plants grow wild and big, way past my prop’ty line And I come home to a letter, a big City Council fine?! NO! My hands are steady My shovel's ready Oh, I’m sure there’s nothing in that dirt that’s poisonous or deadly Lush Green about Oh soon they’ll sprout I can fin’ly grow a cabbage for my favourite sauerkraut The time is now To get underway Today’s the day (x4)

A little shifted dirt can open up your universe Put the spade into the earth and dig like you’ve rehearsed Um... What’s wrong with me? I can’t break ground? I just can’t seem to start? I’m oh so ready in my head, but not yet in my heart It seems too hard, it seems too much, the plot seems to be thickening All I can see’s would-be mistakes so it is out, I’m chickening So scared to make a mossy mess I can’t seem to begin It’s clear the only hole I’ve dug’s the one I’m frozen in I’m frozen! I’m frozen in! A HOLE! THAT I’VE DUG! Oh, I’m so scared I’m not prepared This feeling isn’t in a single book that I have read I must stop teasin’ There’s one big reason Today’s the last day of the planting season The time is now This one last day Must be the day I’m not okay My garden dreams have caught the breeze and up and flown away Today Is not the day

I’m Soil! I’m Muck! And my name is Grubber! We’re ya mud buds up from down under We don’t look much but you better listen 'cause we’re the foundation of your ecosystem Let us tell you ‘bout our composition (Listen up!)
