Grow for Me - The Theatreland Chorus

I’ve given you sunshine

I’ve given you dirt

You’ve given me nothing

But heartache and hurt

I’m beggin' you sweetly

I’m down on my knees

Oh, please grow for me!

I’ve given you plant food

And water to sip

I’ve given you

potash

You’ve given me zip

Oh God, how I mist you

Oh pod, how you tease

Now, please grow for me!

I’ve given you

southern exposure

To get you to thrive

I’ve pinched you back hard

Like I’m s’posed ta

You’re barely alive

I’ve tried you at levels of moisture

From desert to mud

I’ve given you grow-lights

And mineral supplements

What do you want from me, blood?

I’ve given you sunlight

I’ve given you rain

Looks like you’re not happy

'Less I open a vein

I’ll give you a few drops

If that’ll appease

Now please, oh please grow for me!
