11. The Strawberry Song

Verse 1

In the garden, low and green

Little plants begin to sprout

Tiny leaves are softly seen

All about, there is no doubt

Sunbeams warm, and gentle rain

Soon, red berries grow again

Verse 2

She picks them fresh, right from the ground

Washes them clean, with happy cheer

Such a lovely, sweet, round mound

Nothing better, year by year

Sometimes with cream, in a little bowl

Making Minty's tummy whole

Chorus

Minty loves her strawberries,

So sweet and juicy, red and bright,

They make her happy, oh so merry,

Her very favourite, day and night!

Verse 3

There's strawberry jam, on toast so fine

Or ice cream, pink and smooth and cool

A slice of cake, a sweet design

Strawberry treats are nature's rule

Any way she gets to eat

Strawberries are always a sweet, sweet treat

Chorus

Oh, Minty loves her strawberries

So sweet and juicy, red and bright

They make her happy, oh so merry

Her very favourite, day and night
