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 subterranean
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
