Nothing about him ticks her off And he looks so cute in his uniform
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
But summer's just a sneeze in a long long bad-winter cold
She says I'm leaving here but she don't go
Sleep little darling This is your happy home
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned
Don't have kids when you get grown
Because this world is shattered
The wise are mourning
The fools are joking
Oh what does it matter
The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
The three of em laughing round the radio
She says I'm leaving here but she don't go
She plants her garden in the spring
They do the winter shovelling
