Oh, Gus the gardener’s left now and you went with him, too
The fungus here reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you

Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown
The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone

And my tears
fell like raindrops
from the sky above
And poisoned all the flowers
in my garden of love

-Benny Hill
