It's time to plant the seeds, It's time to plant the seeds, Heigh-Ho, the derry-o, It's time to plant the seeds.
The warm sun shines all day, The warm sun shines all day, Heigh-Ho the derry-o, The warm sun shines all day.
The rain comes gently down, The rain comes gently down, Heigh-Ho...
The plant pops through the soil, The plant pops through the soil, Heigh-Ho...
See our garden grow, See our garden grow, Heigh-Ho...
We need to water and hoe, We need to water and hoe, Heigh-Ho...
We help our garden grow, We help our garden grow, Heigh-Ho...
