Over the Garden Wall

Over the Garden Wall - Gracie Fields

Talk about the moon

Talk about the sun

Talk about the stars that shine

Talk about your lovers' lanes east and west

There's a little place by far the best

Many a Jack has met his little Jill

Over the garden wall

Many a maiden's had a little thrill

Over the garden wall

On a moonlight night when the moon shines bright

Or if there isn't any moon at all

They all cling together like the ivy did

Over the garden wall

Many a tomcat's learned to purr

Over the garden wall

Many a she-cat's lost a lot of fur

Over the garden wall

On a moonlight night when the moon shines bright

Or if there isn't any moon at all

There's many an answer to the maiden's prayer

Over the garden wall

Meat was made to eat Milk was made to drink

Chewing gum was made to chew

Dickey-birds were made to fly up above

There's a little place just made for love

Wonderful things are hanging on the line

Over the garden wall

Things that a young man never could design

Over the garden wall

Lace all white there's a girl's all right

With mother's as expensive as them all

The father's are those with the patches on

Over the garden wall

There is a workhouse very bright and gay

Over the garden wall

Where they have cocktails and a cabaret

Over the garden wall

On a Christmas night they were all half tight

The work-house master said "I greet you all "

Where did they tell him to put his Christmas pud

Over the garden wall
