The old park keeper lives in a house that's only twelve feet square
Nobody but the flowers and trees appreciate him there

And then one day the fairy godmother of park keepers came
Into the house and said "You're free
Park keeper, take your freedom
We are giving it to you
Don't keep off the grass of life no more"

And so the park keeper is out having fun as well as tending the park
He waters the flowers in daylight but wears them after dark

And so he lives quite beautifully with flowers and trees and fun
Reading both the Greenery Gazette and Evergreen Review

He's doing all the things that he missed in life
Chasing 'round the world once or twice

On a tour of parks with the magic money
That his fairy godmother gave him
He will live happily ever after
