Pruning shears in her lovely hands

Gloves she got for Christmas

Time demands

Time for trimming, cutting back

Keeping a tight rein

On the domesticated shrubbery

CHORUS

Woman in the garden

She's always been the lovely

Lady next door

Sweets for the children

Alms for the poor

Woman in the garden

She's always been the lovely

Lady next door

Sweets for the children

Alms for the poor

Sweets for the children

Alms for the poor

Mace for the rapers

Wave for the neighbors

She sure paints a pretty picture

For everyone

ANd everyone's concern

CHORUS

Woman in the garden

She's always been the lovely

Lady next door

Married to the wrong man
