I'm sorry you couldn't make it
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate him
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I envied the things that he spoke of
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I told you that I made some time
To find out how to make a garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
If I asked too many questions
To find out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of this
just tempted and teased us
You could have been here,
This was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I told you that I made some
He assured me that the seeds
But I must have cast them
I must have asked too many questions d
And stayed behind to find
out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away the
secret of this godforsaken soil.
