A bit of earth   She wants a little bit of earth   She'll plant some seeds   The seeds will grow   The flowers bloom but is their bounty what she needs?      How can she chance to love a little bit of earth?   Does she not know the earth is hard   and doesn't care if one small girl wants things to grow?      She needs a friend   She needs a father, brother, sister, mother's arms   She needs to laugh,    she needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charm      She needs a home   The only thing she really needs I cannot give   Instead she asks a bit of earth to make it live      She should have a pony   Gallop 'cross the moor   She should have a doll's house with a hundred rooms per floor   Why can't she ask for a treasure?   Something that money can buy that won't die      When I'd give her the world   she asks instead for some earth      A bit of earth   She wants a little bit of earth   She'll plant some seeds   The seeds will grow    The flowers bloom their beauty just the thing she needs      She'll grow to love   the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall   and then in fall, her bit of earth will freeze and kill them all      A bit of earth   A bit of earth   A bit of earth   A bit of EARTH!
