[Verse 1]
Out the gate
And up the lane
The allotment is calling again
I'm there nearly every day
It's my happy place

[Verse 2]
And when I'm on my hands and knees
Ears filled with crow speak
And buzzing bumble bees
The nasturtiums sway
And worry slips away

[Chorus 1]
Pulling up the turnips
Thinning down the carrots and leeks
Tying on the sweet peas
Pruning back the branches of the pear tree
Mucking out the chickens
Repairing a puncture in the polytunnel

[Verse 3]
It's Karen who was always the green-fingered one
I don't really know what I am doing
Would you like another cuppa?
Could you manage a slice of toast?
Or a little bit of soup my flower?
[Verse 4]
Out the gate and up the lane
The allotment is calling again
Aah Aah Aah, Aah Aah Aah

[Chorus 2]
Pottering in the shed
Building a new raised bed for spuds
Sowing beets and broad beans
Waging war on nettles and bindweed
Taking in the sunset
Repairing a puncture in the polytunnel
In the polytunnel
