Silly Seeds by Robot Penguin

A GM-free slice of nostalgia which saw 'Robots' lead singer Flegg Benson hospitalised. Benson broke his face on a nest of marble tables while overstretching for a Jaffa Cake, during rehearsals for this otherwise innocent ditty.


Cress in a tub on wet tissue on the window sill

Outside sunflower waving gives me such a thrill


CHORUS

All I did was do it

Stuck in a seed and grew it yeah

Silly seeds like you and me

They only need some tender loving care


Beans in a jar give ‘em a shake see the shoots explode

Outside nasturtiums prodded in soon a green and orange road


CHORUS


Fruit pips ‘snook’ in the nearest pot plant soon surprise

Half a spud in the ground soon doubles trebles multiplies


CHORUS


Perhaps not so silly after all

Once you’ve seen them climbing up the wall

It’s quite impressive - yeah!


Cress in a tub on wet tissue on the window sill

Outside sunflower waving, gives me such a thrill


All I did was do it

Stuck a seed in the ground and grew it

Beans in a jar - shake

See the shoots explode
