It's My Garden
A pastiche of It's My Party by Lesley Gore
It’s my garden and it’s dry so I’ll water
Pick a new flower
Get caught in a shower
It helps me chase away my blues
*******
Nobody knows where Johnny has gone (Johnny has gone)
And he’s been gone for a while
I may know, but I’ll never tell
When nobody’s round, I secretly smile
*******
(Chorus)
*******
I caught Johnny stepping out with a girl (Out with a girl)
You cheat on me, I get mean
I made a dinner, set the plates with a whirl
And a luscious arsenic pie
*******
(Chorus)
*******
Now everyone thinks that he ran away (He ran away)
Did something bad and skipped town
My garden’s so pretty, it flowers all day
Especially on the new mound
*******
(Outro Chorus and Fade)

Oh my garden! This was cheeky and wicked! I grinned through every verse Lesley Gore would’ve gasped (and maybe clapped)! ✨
Such a lovely garden, fresh with meaning & delicious for it.
I love it! Revenge AND fertilizer
