about

Being stuck at home from the COVID-19-induced lockdown is/has probably affected you. We don't know how long the pandemic will last, but you can make your coronavirus housebound days far more enjoyable by attempting to grow a flourishing garden, while singing your lungs out and dancing your legs off to this.

lyrics

We’re apocalypse-ready
Fridge is stocked, pantry full of tins
There’s only one thing missing
That very soon may do us in
We got matches, wood, Nigella
Salt and pepper too
But we’ll still end up starving
If we can’t grow any food

Growing food is hard
Growing food is hard
It hurts to see the deathly naked
Dirt in our backyard
We try and try
But plants just die
It’s tearing us apart
Growing food is hard
Growing food is hard

We’re crying tears at Costa
His garden show this week is on a farm
5th generation growers
Chest hair and mighty rippling arms
They grow herbs as tall as houses
They pick veggies by the tonne
We watch and learn, but still have no
Idea how this is done

At the nursery, when we come by
The plants all whisper, point and hide
Reputation follows us around
We always do our very best
But incompetence, and weeds and pests
Grind our little plants into the ground
