The Garden

[Intro] [Verse 1] [deadpan female vocals] Everything in my life is only strife anymore you see And the bills are piling up and so is the laundry and the grass is getting higher too The IRS like an unwanted guest just won't leave me alone And every pesty predators, creditors and the rest calling on the telephone Everyone is taking from me No one is giving Excuse me for living [Chorus] [full band, increased guitar distortion] I think that the wind direction is right I think I'll go and fly a kite Or take a long walk off a short pier this overrated time of the year [Verse 2] [staccato guitar riff returns] before I crash my car on the freeway there's just one more thing that I must say [Chorus] I'm going out into the garden The garden, the garden I'm going out into the garden To eat worms To eat worms Worms are so low in calories In calories, in calories So follow me out into the garden To eat worms [Bridge] [bass-driven rhythm, guitar feedback] Next to my house is gates barbecue If they served up worms what a business they could do It's a lovely spring day But my troubles won't go away Only one thing left to say [Chorus] I'm going out into the garden The garden, the garden I'm going out into the garden To eat worms I'm eating worms So follow me out into the garden The garden, the garden Follow me out into the garden I'm eating worms I'm eating worms So follow me out into the garden The garden, the garden Follow me out into the garden I'm eating worms I'm eating worms I'm eating worms [Outro] [guitar solo with heavy distortion] I'm gonna have me a cigarette although I don't smoke I'm gonna lay in the sun for hours drinking Diet Coke I'm gonna zip down the highway and not even wear a belt Watch TV till half past three till my brain melts [Chorus] And I'm going out into the garden The garden, the garden So follow me into the garden Eating worms Eating worms Eating big squishy worms [final drum hit] Words and Music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music
