I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)
Composer(s): Maurie Hartmann; Billy Faber; Johnny Kamono



Of all the saddest words
That I have ever heard
The saddest is the story
Told me by a bird

He had spent about and hour
A Chatting with a flower
and here ís the tale the flower told

Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch

I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo

The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me

Who put me in this bed?
I'll bet his face is red
I call him down with every teardrop that I shed

If I only had him here
I'd take him by the ear
And make him share my misery

Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch

I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo

The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me

My nerves begin to crack
Each time I see a track
Made by a kitty with a
stripe right down his back

If he ever stopped by me
I think I'd rather be
A dead petunia, wouldn't you?

Ooooh he ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
He ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch

And all he does is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo

The air ís so strong it takes my breath away

Feee-you!

I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me
