Words and Music by Dottie Burman

My houseplants often died

Even though I tried

Vitamins and insect sprays,

Special lights for gloomy days.

Finally I found a way

To help them get along.

I sing to my plants

Or play each one a song.

I sing a calypso tune

To my potted palm!

I sing "Home on the Range"

To my cactus, the fact is

My dracaena, keeps getting greena"

When I play a lively tune on my

Concerntina.

I beat the conga drums

For my African violets.

I hum a theme from a Hayden symphonia

For my begonia.

My rubber tree, loves a rhapsody.

My swinging vine likes rock and roll fine.

A gregorian chant

Works on every plant!

When I sing stac-ca -to,

You should see my avacatto!

Sometimes I think I hear

Them sing along.

I even dreamed a saw them dancing too, it's true!

When I play "Hava Nagila" you should see what they do...

They dance(music-Hava Nagila)

Hava nagila

Hava nagila

Hava nagila

With my wandering Jew!

So If your houseplants die

Even though you try

Vitamins and insect sprays

Special lights for gloomy days

You can make a miracle just find your favorite tune

And sing to your plants--ah-ah-ah!

And watch your flowers bloom!
