There Are Fairies At The Bottom Of Our Garden
Composer(s): Rose Fyleman - Liza Lehmann

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
It's not so very, very far away
You pass the gardener's shed
And you just keep straight ahead
I do so hope they've come to stay

There's a little wood with moss in it and beetles
And a little stream that quietly runs through
You wouldn't think they'd dare
To come merrymaking there
Well, they do!

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
They often have a dance on summer nights
The butterflies and bees
Make a lovely little breeze
And the rabbits stand about and hold the lights

Did you know that they could sit upon the moonbeams
And pick a little star to make a fan
And dance away up there
In the middle of the air
Well, they can!

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
You cannot think how beautiful they are
They all stand up and sing
When the fairy queen and king
Come gently floating down upon their car

The king is very proud and handsome
The queen, now can you guess who that would be?
She's a little girl all day
But at night she steals away
Well, it's me!
