[Intro]
[Verse 1]
“What a bountiful harvest,” she said.
“Cabbage butterflies and caterpillars,” I replied.
“I’m tired, let’s rest,” she said.
“Rest and harvest,” I said.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“Harvest what?” She asked.
“Look closely,” I said.
[Chorus 1]
Thick, short radishes,
Giant spinach leaves,
Purple mustard greens,
Cabbages full of holes,
A bountiful harvest.
[Verse 2]
“You’re staring at me like that,” I said.
“You should look over there,” I added.
I set up a folding table and chairs.
I prepared tea and sweets.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“Do you want sugar and milk?” I asked.
“Yes. But all I can see are weeds,” she said.
[Chorus 2]
Thick, short radishes,
Giant spinach leaves,
Purple mustard greens,
Cabbages full of holes,
A bountiful harvest.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
I pulled up a radish. “It’s short.”
The mustard greens were purple.
The spinach leaves were as wide as a face.
The cabbages were full of holes.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
From among the weeds,
They were unexpected gifts.
[Chorus 3]
Thick, short radishes,
Giant spinach leaves,
Purple mustard greens,
Cabbages full of holes,
A bountiful harvest.
[Bridge]
“These are all free,” I said.
“Seeds, fertilizer, transportation, and personnel costs,” she said with a smile.
“And with heartfelt care,” I added.
“That’s priceless.”
[Final Chorus 3]
Thick, short radishes,
Giant spinach leaves,
Purple mustard greens,
Cabbages full of holes,
A bountiful harvest.
