I've got to find my boots, put my raincoat on

Fetch my bucket and spade and I'll be one

Oh green grow the rushes o

I'll wander down the way to the waterside

And while away some time with apple wine

 

There's a hole in the garden wall where the light shines in

A place where the merry moles play and the flowers sing

Oh white are the lilies o

Sheltered from the breeze the elders grow

Whispering to the wind in the willows

 

Sipping cider rain as the garden grows

Kaleidoscopic eyes (Rosemary's coming today)

I'm sipping cider rain as the river flows

Seeping through the toffee apple skies

 

There's a track to a rocky ridge where the river bends

One day I'll walk that way to rainbow's end

Oh red are the berries o

Meantime there are seeds I ought to sow

Feigning to be busy doing anything

​

Sipping cider rain as the garden grows

Kaleidoscopic eyes (Rosemary's coming today)

I'm sipping cider rain as the river flows

Seeping through the toffee apple skies

​

Lazy days in perfect decline

Feigning to be busy doing anything

 

Sipping cider rain as the garden grows

Kaleidoscopic eyes (Rosemary's coming today)

I'm sipping cider rain as the river flows

Toffee apple pie (Rosemary's ever so late)

I'm sipping cider rain as the garden grows

Kaleidoscopic eyes (Rosemary's coming today)

I'm sipping cider rain as the river flows

Seeping through the toffee apple skies

​

I've got to find my boots, put my raincoat on
