Oh, there’s

C some

thing in

F my

gar

C den

,

And it’s

F been

there

C for

a

G week

.

I

C tried

to take its

F rib

C out

,

But that

F on

ly

C made

it

G shriek

.

I

F tried

to give it

C leaves

to

Am eat

,

But it

F wore

them

C on

its

G crotch

.

Such

C en

tertainment

F can’t

be

C beat

,

So I

F think

I’ll sit

G back

and

C watch

, oh

Am yes

;

I’ll

F just

sit

G back

and

C watch

.

Oh, there’s something in my garden,
And I tried to feed it Brie,
But it only smiled and tried to eat
My best apple tree.

Oh, I gave it ten commandments,
But it never understood.
And although it hasn’t learned to read,
I see that it is good, yes indeed;
Oh, I see that it is good.

Oh, there’s something in my garden,
And it wobbles on two legs,
But has no wings or feathers and
It isn’t laying eggs.

Oh, I hope the planet likes it;
It seems so smart and wise.
So I think I’ll turn it loose on her
And give her a big surprise, oh yes;
A marvelous surprise.
