Oh my word
Commence
Welcome to the garden, please respect the rules
We have quiet, peaceful grounds, laddie don't act the fool
We've got some picnic tables there where you can sit and eat
If you're acting bratty, laddie, we'll ask you to leave
In the garden, welcome to the garden
Watch yourself around the g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g, geese, geese
Ooh, ah, you'd better watch your feet
Welcome to the garden, there's things you do not do
Touching flowers or climbing in trees, and cutting in the queue
You should've been a proper girl, you should've tried to please
You will see we're quite right, but you're banned until your teens
In the garden, welcome to the garden
See our, our, our, our bowling green
Oh, ah, you'll have to cross the stream
[Tsking, tut-tutting, and other admonishing sounds]
Welcome to the garden, that is not a wading pool
You children act like you're animals in the garden after school
We have got a swingset as you can see, please play on it quietly
You can't do anything you want, you are ruining afternoon tea
In the garden, welcome to the garden
Watch yourself around the g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g, geese, geese
Ooh, ah, you'd better watch your feet
And when you're here, you never
Ever want to be loud
So loud, so loud, so loud, yeah
[Harpsichord solo]
You know where you are?
You're in the garden, madam
You'll show some class
In the garden, welcome to the garden
Watch yourself around the g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g, geese, geese
Ooh, ah, you'd better watch your feet
In the garden, welcome to the garden
See our, our, our, our bowling green
Garden, welcome to the garden
Watch yourself around the g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g, geese, geese
In the garden, welcome to the garden
Watch yourself around the, you'd better watch your step, huh
