John Lithgow - I Always Say Hello To A Flower Lyrics
Some people talk to each otherWhile others talk to their catsSome people talk to their mothersWhile others talk through their hatsI communicate with natureWith a plant, a leaf, a treeAnd I'm always nice to a flowerFor they're absolutely perfect to meI always say, 'Hello', to a flower'Hello, hello, hello'I totally ignore the crashing boreWho lives next doorFor his conversation's sillyYet I never snub a lilyI always say, 'Bonjour', to a lilac'Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour'I'm absolutely muteWith a bully in a suitAnd I never talk to fruitHeaven knowsBut I always say hello to a roseYes, I always wave at the window boxIf the box is filled with hollyhocksAnd I speak to the daisiesI think they are swellTell your secrets to a daisyShe'll never tellI always say, 'Hello', to a snow ball'Hello, hello there, hello'Look sideways at a strangerAnd you put your life in dangerBut one can kiss a sweet bouquetA blushing bride has tossed awayFlowers are the sweetest things I knowSo when I see a flower I say, 'Hello'Hiya, CynthI never shrink away from a violet, oh, noNo, I say helloI may be off my rockerBut I never pet a *****erYet the dogwood in the parkWill never ever barkI'm always glad to see a gladiolaI'm just mad about the gladYou can stand next to a bushAnd never feel one pushFlowers are refined and politeYou know I have never seen a Pansy fightYes, I talk to beesAnd I talk to birdsBut they leave me quiteAt a loss for wordsAnd I never touch a catWhile it sleeps on a pillowBut I positively trustA ***** willowI always say, 'Hello', to a flower'Hello, hello, hello'Get friendly with a mouseAnd he'll hang around your houseBut flowers never overstayThey stay a day, then fade awayFlowers are the sweetest things I knowSo when I see a flower I say, 'Hello'
