"How Does Your Garden Grow" Songs

Songs:  

#1.  Planting Seeds

Planting seeds one by one, plan for rain, Hope for sun.  Our work is never done,  No, our work is never done!

Plant a bulb, soon it will be a nice daffodil.  Our work is never done, no, our work is never done!

A garden is a special place, full of life, full of grace.  We plant our seeds and bulbs below and they will grow and grow and grow!   They will grow!!!!

Digging spuds from the dirt, lots of mud on my shirt, Our work is never done,  No, our work is never done!

Every morn, year by year, picking corn ear by ear.  Our work is never done,  No, our work is never done!

A garden is a lovely spot, sometimes cool, sometimes hot.  All our plants are in a row, and they will grow and grow and grow!   They will grow!!!!

yes, and they will grow and grow and grow!  

 They -----------will---------sure---------ly---------- gr------------------ow!!!!

#2  We are the Loveliest flowers

flowers front of stage and act out:

All students sing, 
We are the loveliest flowers.  Look at our petals so fair.  After a shower, we flower for hours, waving our blooms in the air.  

(roses move up front and curtsy)  A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,
(Tulips move front and twirl)       a tulip in something to see.

All flowers sing and act out:   There might be another that looks very nice.  but none are as lovely as me!

All students sing:  We are the loveliest flowers.  Look at our petals so fair.  After a shower, we flower for hours, waving our blooms in the air.

#4    The Garden

Everybody grab a hoe, go through the garden row by row.  That's the way we'll save the day:

do it with a garden  (stomp)  hoe-down!  Hoe-down high, hoe-down low.  hoe-down now and away we go!  

Everything is coming up green!  we did it with a garden hoe-down.  

Get  a spade or get a rake.  Go get a hoe for garden's sake.  That's the way we'll save the day:

do it with a garden  (stomp)  hoe-down!  Hoe-down high, hoe-down low.  hoe-down now and away we go!  

Everything is coming up green!  we did it with a garden hoe-down.  

Dance Break

 Hoe-down high, hoe-down low.  hoe-down now and away we go!  

Everything is coming up green!  We did ----it ----with---- a --gar-----den ------------------hoe-down. 

#5  How Does Your Garden Grow?

Will you give every seed all the love that it needs to become the best that it could be?

Will you care that each one has its day in the sun, and can grow in a world of harmony?  Tell me how will you do, if it's all up to you?  How will you let them know?  Tell me how will you care?  Will you love, will you share?  How does your garden grow?  Tell me, how does your garden grow?  

We're growing up like seeds in a garden, growing up to be strong.  Growing up like the seeds in a garden, won't you take me a long?  Come along!!

Will you give every seed all the love that it needs?

to become the best that it could be?

Will you care that each one has its day in the sun, and can grow in a world of harmony?

Elie:  Tell me how will you do, if it's all up to you?  How will you let them know?  

 Tell me how will you care?  Will you love, will you share?  How does your garden grow?  Tell me, how does your garden grow?

Script

"Planting song"

Scene 1

Herb:

(the gardener) My name is Herb, I'm the gardener here,

the "H" is silent you know.

I do all of the watering, and all of the

seeds I sow!

Flower #1: This is our garden, a wonderful spot,

notice our perfect rows!

Flower #2:  As long as the gardener "forgets-me-not,

"just about anything grows!

Flower #3: The garden has flowers and vegetables

and even a fruit tree or two.

Flower #4: There are carrots and onions, tomatoes and beans

There are carrots and onions, tomatoes and beans

to make a hearty stew!

Child:

(or Herb): Let's hear a song from the flowers,

they love to swoon and croon.

And except for bragging,

they usually sing right in tune!  

 Song:  We are the loveliest flowers"

Scene 2

Bunny: Aren't the flowers just beautiful?

They always know just what to wear.

Bunny #2:he way they dance so dutiful,

as if they do not have a care!

Skunk #1: We're lucky to have a gardener

who appreciates their blooms!

Skunk #2: He likes the way they smell so nice,

like natural perfume!

Herb: My name is Herb, I'm the gardener here,

the "H" is silent you know.

I do all of the watering,

helping the garden to grow!

 Flower #5: (alarmed) But something has happened to the gardener,

he seems to have forgotten our needs!

Flower #6: For all of a sudden, and quite uninvited

we're being run over by weeds!

song: " We're the Weeds"

Scene 3

Plant #1: Someone call the gardener

and tell him to bring his hoe!

Plant #2:he cabbage is crabby and ornery

and feeling very low!

(gardener enters)

Herb:

(the gardener) My name is Herb, I'm the gardener here,

the "H" is silent you know.

What seems to be the problem dears,

why aren't you all in a row?

Plant #3: The cabbage is having a very bad day!

We don't know what to do!

Plant #4: She's sitting in her favorite place

but feeling very blue!

Plant #5: What is it that's causing the queen of our plot

to have such a thorn in her craw?

Plant #6: I think she heard a rumor that she

was going to be Cole Slaw.

Crabby Cabbage: Now plants! Plants! Hear me once and for all!

These weeds are getting too tall!

I can't even see where my head meets the ground,

AND I'M THE QUEEN AFTER ALL!!

All Plants: We know we're in a terrible mess,

this garden has been neglected!

Our only hope is that a new gardener

will get himself elected!

Herb: My name is Herb, I'm the gardener here...

All: (annoyed with him) The "H" is silent WE KNOW!!

Herb: Well I've never been so insulted, my friends!

I can't believe my ears!

Even the onions are mad at me

and bringing me to tears!

I pull the weeds every other year.

What more do you expect?

I'm going to find a garden,

where I'll get some respect!

(Herb, the gardener leaves)

Carrot  #1: Oh no, the Gardener is really upset.

Now what are we going to do?

Carrot #2: The way he looked before he left,

we may end up a stew!

Corn #1: Let's go ask the scarecrow.

She always knows what is best.

Corn #2: She got rid of all those nasty crows,

perhaps she can do the rest!

(They go to the Scarecrow)

Scarecrow#1: (chasing away some crows)

Don't come around here, you nasty crows,

I'm here to take care of you!

Fly away! Now don't you know

I'm telling you to shoo!

Strawberry #1: Mr. Scarecrow, tell us please,

we're at the end of our wits!

These weeds are ruining everything,

the cabbage is throwing fits!

􀀁

Strawberry #2: When the rock garden's music was way too loud,

you got them to stop at eight!

Strawberry #3: You made the ravens fly away

before it was too late!

Strawberry  #4: But now these weeds are out of line,

they're causing a terrible fright!

Tell us what we ought to do

to get them out of sight!

Scarecrow#2: (showing off) You're right, I am the brilliant one,

I know most everything!

And when a problem seems no fun

I always like to sing!

All: Sing!!!??

Scarecrow#3: It's not a scary song I sing,

so don't believe the rumors!

And with my song I think you'll see

we'll even save late bloomers!

(He motions to a little flower who makes a muscle man pose)

Flower #5: But what kind of song will do any good

to rid us of these weeds?

Surely you must have a better plan

to help us with our needs.

Scarecrow#4: What kind of song, you ask me now?

I'll tell you 'til I'm hoarse!

To get rid of weeds the song must be,

A HOE down......

All: of course!!!!

Song:   Hoedown 

Garden gnome #1: All that happy hoeing

has cleared away the weeds.

Garden gnome #2: And once again our garden

has all the room it needs'.

Butterfly #1: Now every seed has a chance to grow

and every flower can bloom!

Butterfly #2Red or yellow, purple or white,

for you there'll always be room!

Scarecrow#1: For all there should always be room!

Scene 6:

Herb: Every plant is important to me

to make this a beautiful spot,

and every child is important you see,

each one a "forget -me -not!"
