Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- This is fertile soil indeed,
Just the very soil we need.
Let us plant our carrot seed! - One, Two, Three, Four.
Now a little water pour
Give it plenty, give it more! - When the water strikes the root
Instantly begin to toot
On your magic garden flute. - Throw. away your rake and hoe
Take your seed and plant it so
Then sit back and watch it grow. - Plant anything! You can’t go wrong
And watch it grow! It won’t take long!
Just toot the flute with magic song! - Be as rich as any king!
Grow a fortune! Anything!
Plant your money so and sing- - Mister Fox, please,
Take my pennies,
Plant them like these. - One, two, three, four,
Now a little water pour,
Alas, we haven’t any more. - Take the water can and go
To the river down below,
Do not spill it! Hold it so. - Two for you and two for me
Very soon that boy will see,
In this world there’s nothing free. - When the water strikes the root
Instantly begin to toot
On the magic garden-flute.
