lyrics

Valerie is in the garden and she's pluckin' weeds
to make room for all the pumpkin seeds
she wants to live off the earth
she looks down and her stomach sinks
she runs shoutin' to her husband Leigh
she says "I just a-lost my wedding ring
it must'a slipped off in the dirt"
it seemed like forever
that Leigh was searching with his metal detector
but despite all of their valiant efforts
the wedding ring was gone
one month passed
you never seen a garden grow so fast
zucchinis leapin' out that veggie patch
and the vines were green and strong

CHORUS
the soil gets just a little bit richer
you give a little and it's just the right mixture
we're all growing in love
we're all growing in love
the soil gets just a little bit richer
you give a little and it's just the right mixture
for all them collard greens and aubergines
cabbages and radishes and sugar-snap peas

Valerie is watchin' Leigh while he's gardening
just then she thinks about that wedding ring
all these years, they still haven't found it
Leigh comes running yelling "Valerie!
I've got something that you won't believe"
he slid a carrot right outta his sleeve
with the wedding ring wrapped around it
