<br>

ARCHIBALD:<br>

A bit of earth,<br>

She wants a little bit of earth.<br>

She'll plant some seeds.<br>

The seeds will grow,<br>

The flowers bloom,<br>

But is their bounty<br>

What she needs?<br>

<br>

How can she chance<br>

To love a little bit of earth?<br>

Does she not know?<br>

The earth is old,<br>

And doesn't care if<br>

One small girl wants things to grow.<br>

<br>

She needs a friend.<br>

She needs a father,<br>

Brother, sister,<br>

Mother's arms.<br>

She needs to laugh.<br>

She needs to dance,<br>

And learn to work<br>

Her girlish charm.<br>

<br>

She needs a home,<br>

The only thing she really needs <br>

I cannot give.<br>

Instead she asks<br>

A bit of earth<br>

To make it live!<br>

<br>

She should have a pony,<br>

Gallop 'cross the moor.<br>

She should have a doll's house<br>

With a hundred rooms per floor.<br>

Why can't she ask for a treasure?<br>

Something that money can buy,<br>

That won't die!<br>

When I'd give her the world,<br>

She asks, instead<br>

For some earth.<br>

<br>

A bit of earth,<br>

She wants a little bit of earth,<br>

She'll plant some seeds.<br>

The seeds will grow,<br>

The flowers bloom,<br>

Their beauty just the thing she needs.<br>

She'll grow to love the tender roses,<br>

Lilies fair, the iris tall.<br>

And then in fall, her bit of earth<br>

Will freeze and kill them all.<br>

<br>

A bit of earth, a bit of earth, <br>

A bit of earth, a bit of earth.<br>

<br>
