A Bit Of Earth — текст песни (Bobby Darin)

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She`ll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom but is their bounty what she needs?

How can she chance to love a little bit of earth?
Does she not know the earth is hard
and doesn`t care if one small girl wants things to grow?

She needs a friend
She needs a father, brother, sister, mother`s arms
She needs to laugh,
she needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charm

She needs a home
The only thing she really needs I cannot give
Instead she asks a bit of earth to make it live

She should have a pony
Gallop `cross the moor
She should have a doll`s house with a hundred rooms per floor
Why can`t she ask for a treasure?
Something that money can buy that won`t die

When I`d give her the world
she asks instead for some earth

A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She`ll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom their beauty just the thing she needs

She`ll grow to love
the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall
and then in fall, her bit of earth will freeze and kill them all

A bit of earth
A bit of earth
A bit of earth
A bit of EARTH!
