She wants a little bit of earth she'll plant some seeds
 The seeds will grow
 The flowers bloom but is their bounty shat she needs
 How can she chance
 To love a little bit of Earth does she not know
 The Earth is old
 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 charms
 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
