There's poison ivy in the garden Poison ivy in the garden Climbing up the trees Eating up the happy flowers Dandelions in the yard Dozens of them growing wild Why don't I just pull the weeds? Am I really such a coward? I used to spend so much time Wandering around outside Now I've got too much on my mind Now I've got too much on my mind If you won't leave me alone I hope poison ivy grows I hope poison ivy grows I hope poison ivy grows in your garden too ♪ I spend hours, but I don't know Why my garden doesn't grow Who knows what the reason is Maybe I'm just a lousy gardener I used to spend so much time Wandering around outside Now I've got too much on my mind Now I've got too much on my mind If you won't leave me alone I hope poison ivy grows I hope poison ivy grows I hope poison ivy grows in your garden too
