over the garden wall - adelaide parade
Oh we're going to the pasture to meet adelaide
And ask her if she has a way to
Send us back to where we came from!
Don't know who she is
or how she is or when or why she is
But as for where she is, she is where we will go!
To adelaide!
To adelaide!
Come on and join the adelaide parade!
Adelaide
To adelaide!
We're going to adelaide's house today!
over the garden wall - into the unknown
Led through the mist
by the milk-light of moon
all that was lost is revealed
our long bygone burdens
mere echoes of the spring
but where have we come
and where shall we end?
if dreams can't come true
then why not pretend?
oh, how the gentle wind
beckons through the leaves
as autumn colors fall
dancing in a swirl
of golden memories
the loveliest lies of all
the loveliest lies of all
over the garden wall - patient is the night
Along the fields of straw and stover
clocked in 'till the work day is over
time's a gentle stream
longer than it seems
patient is the night
how I long to see her face now
her starry moonlit gaze now
I know she's never late
still anxiously I wait
patient is the night
I know she's never late
Still anxiously I wait
patient is the night
over the garden wall - potatoes and molasses
Oh, potatoes and molasses
If you want some, oh, just ask us
They're warm and soft like puppies in socks
Filled with cream and candy rocks
Oh, potatoes and molasses
They're so much sweeter than algebra classes
If your stomach is grumblin'
and your mouth starts a-mumblin'
There is only one thing
to keep your brain from crumblin'
Oh, potatoes and molasses
If you can't see 'em, put on your glasses
They're shiny and large like a fisherman's barge
You know you've eat enough
when you start seeing stars
Oh, potatoes and molasses
It's the only thing left on your task list
They're short and stout to make everyone shout
For, potatoes and molasses
For, potatoes and
That's enough!
over the garden wall - the old north wind
Oh Yeah the old North Wind starts to howl
Puffs up, furrows his brow
Now, now, you better take cover
Lock up those doors and close those shutters
I say the old North Wind, yes he is
He's gone fat, he's gonna spin
He's gonna, pull back, a blow a little more
Until you can't tell what you came here for
Oh Yeah the old North Wind, yes indeed
He's gonna breathe and breathe
He's gonna, bloow
Blow till you can't feel no more
