Little Pleasure Acre

(album: Sweet Inspiration - 1970)

Little pleasure acre
Tiny bit of nature
Daffodil and tulip beds
Garden in the city
Always very pretty
Never sees a buttercup's head

Lone perambulators
Hushed along by maters
Walk around the tarmac square
Businessmen with papers
Frown on doggie capers
Sandwiches and open air

All that is green
Is a pleasure to be seen
Even in town
Hidden by the buildings 'round
All that is green
Is a pleasure to be seen
Even in town
Hidden by the buildings 'round

Sunday morning hooter
Boy on little scooter
Splendid on his two-stroke mare
Scruff around his shoulder
Trying to look older
Chatting up the Swedish au pair

Romances abounding
Shrubbery surrounding
Hiding those without a care
People with their leisure
Take enormous pleasure
Every day you'll find them there

All that is green
Is a pleasure to be seen
Even in town
Hidden by the buildings 'round
All that is green
Is a pleasure to be seen
Even in town
Hidden by the buildings 'round

All that is green
Is a pleasure to be seen
Even in town
Hidden by the buildings 'round
All that is green
