INTRO :05
Harvey went over to Hank Leroy's house
Where Hank grew some flowers for Harvey.
Harv thought the flowers were all dying out
But Hank Leroy thought they were marvy.
We asked Fat Harvey what he thought was wrong.
He said that he wished that he knew.
We earnestly conjured our answer and said,
"This is what you've got to do."
Harv went to the circus to cool off a bit.
He had a clown blow up his balloon.
He saw us standing there. It was too late.
The whole thing blew up with a boom.
So Harv felt dejected and thought he would plant
Some flowers for his own garden.
He had his niece plant the seeds for him
Where the ground wouldn't easily harden.
His niece knew nothing 'bout planting, oh no.
She planted them all in the shade.
The plants died and Harvey looked right at us.
A new chorus for this was made.
Well, the grass in his yard got kinda high,
So Harv hired someone to cut it.
He looked o'er at aus, and we breathed with a sigh.
((INST LINE))
REPEAT INST INTRO
Then Harvey's car broke down; wouldn't run.
He had someone tow it away.
The truck crashed, and even though we weren't there,
He knew just what we would say:
Harvey and Susie were talking one day.
She left him and ran out the door.
We asked him, "Hey Harvey, what did she say?"
He said this as he lay on the floor:
Grow your own. (It's really cheaper.)
Grow your own. (Don't be the weeper.)
Grow your own. (You'll get to keep her.)
Grow your own.
Blow your own.
Sow your own.
Mow your own.
Tow your own.
((INST, first 3 lines of CHORUS))
Grow...your...own!
