Your old green wellies .....

Down amongst the cabbages

Through the sunflowers tall

Can you see those courgettes

Growing by the wall?

Runner beans, French beans

Bright red flowers a-quiver.

Already there's some tasty pods.

Let's have them for our dinner.

Just beside the old blue shed

Things are growing fast.

Lettuces are looking good,

Currants ripe at last.

Red ones, white ones,

Some are fat and black.

Pick them in the evening cool.

No sun to burn your back.

Lurking in the greenhouse

It's windows open wide

Are proud tomatoes all trussed up,

A row on either side.

Cherry ones, merry ones,

Full of pips and pulp.

Stick a ripe one in your mouth,

Eat it in one gulp.

Come and join our merry band,

Bring your fork and spade.

Time to put some leeks in

The job can't be delayed.

Come and taste the great outdoors

Get back to your roots.

But first make sure

That you can find

Your old green wellie boots!
