lyrics

CHORUS:
There's some critters in my garden and I want 'em to get out
I got some starters starting and I got some veggie sprouts
I got a guard dog guarding but he's a lazy lout
Critters, I beg your pardon but you really must stay out

First the rabbits came a-hopping through that hole there in the fence
I tried my best to stop them, I put up my best defense
I tried booby traps and barbed wire, so it doesn't make no sense
Dagnabbit, little rabbits keep on hopping through my fence!

Next a groundhog came a-digging from her burrow underground
She came silently a-wriggling, no she didn't make a sound
Now she's whistling and pigging out and putting on the pounds
Stealing vegetables and vittles for her kitchen underground

CHORUS

So I held a public meeting for to set those critters straight
And soon they all came streaming through that hole there in the gate
They brought veggie stew, boiled cabbage too, it's filling up my plate
And now I stand corrected, yes those critters are pretty great!

There's some critters in my garden and they're welcome any time
We've got a farm-stand starting and we're putting up a sign
Take what you need, then plant a seed to feed the next in line
Critters, I beg your pardon, you are welcome any time
Critters, I beg your pardon, what's mine is yours & yours is mine
Critters, I beg your pardon, you are welcome any time
