(Verse)
All the neighbors do rejoice
When harvest times around
From his garden he freely shares
To all the people in town
(Chorus)
There's so many things to eat
Just dig a potato or pull up a beet
...And wait that's not all...
Carrots, kale, or a celery shoot
Or any number or types of tuberous roots
These are just some of the thing you see
In my father's garden,
So come on in!
(Verse)
In my father's garden
Every seed does germinate
From my father's garden
Right down to the dinner plate
(Chorus)
Its the time of harvest! The bounty grows!
The cornucopia overflows!
These are just some of the thing you see
In my father's garden,
So come on in!
(Outro)
My father is a humble man
A good steward of the land
Tends his garden with his bare hands
Touch the earth! I hope you understand
(Fade out with music)

This is such a captivating
This is such a captivating read that reminded me of my grandfather, who had an allotment and sold his produce at market in the city.
