Place Of Spades
Lyrics: Scott Doonican
 
I really like to grow me own
I'm darn at the allotment
You sow some, grow some - it's just the thing for me
It's a way to pass the day
While breaking up the loamy clay
I won't be tending to raised beds - no, you'll find me in me shed
It's the place of spades - the place of spades

Here I spend the summer months
Hiding from the missus
Growing runner beans,
While she claims I've gone to seed
I've got a massive pair of melons
They're tasty and they're cantaloupe
'Ar lass can't rant or moan,
‘Cos what I'm bringing home
Is her five a day, her five a day

I'll tell you how me garden grows
Got a pair of dirty hoes
And now me marrow's nice and weighty
Even with this British weather...
I'm quite the Alan Titchmarsh

Pruning buds I've planted
Don't take me plot for granted
Sow 'em and reap, lev-ell-ing the land again
With me plums to fertilise
They're getting big, they're twice the size
I even mek me own compost,
In this outhouse where I'm boss
The place of spades, it's the place of spades
