Hey buds below, up is where to grow
Up with which below can't compare with.
Hurry, it's lovely up here
Life down a hole takes an awful toll,
What with not a soul there to share with
Hurry, it's lovely up here!
Wake up, bestir yourself, it's time that you disinter yourself
You've got a spot to fill, a pot to fill
And what a gift package of showers, sun and love
You'll be met above everywhere with,
Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by,
Life here is rosy, if you're a posy
Hurry it's lovely here!
Climb up geranium, it can't be fun subterran-ium
On the exterior, it's cheerier
RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze,
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Come give at least a preview of Easter
Come up and see the good we're giving
Come up and see the grounds for living
Come poke your head out,
Open up and spread out,
Hurry it's lovely here!
