Lyrics:
A bit of earthShe wants a little bit of earthShe'll plant some seedsThe seeds will growThe flowers bloomBut is their bountyWhat she needsHow can she chanceTo love a little bit of earthDoes she not knowThe earth is oldAnd doesn't care ifOne small girl wants things to growShe needs a friendShe needs a fatherBrother, sisterMother's armsShe needs to laughShe needs to danceAnd learn to workHer girlish charmsShe needs a homeThe only thing she really needsI cannot giveInstead she asksA bit of earthTo make it liveShe should have a ponyGallop 'cross the moorShe should have a doll's houseWith a hundred rooms per floorWhy can't she ask for a treasureSomething that money can buyThat won't dieWhen I'd give her the worldShe asks insteadFor some earthA bit of earthShe wants a little bit of earthShe'll plant some seedsThe seeds will growThe flowers bloomTheir beauty just the thing she needsShe'll grow to love the tender rosesLilies fair, the iris tallAnd then in fall, her bit of earthWill freeze and kill them allA bit of earth, a bit of earth (2x)
