John Lithgow - I Always Say Hello to a Flower lyrics

Some people talk to each other While others talk to their cats Some people talk to their mothers While others talk through their hats I communicate with nature With a plant, a leaf, a tree And I'm always nice to a flower For they're absolutely perfect to me I always say, 'Hello', to a flower 'Hello, hello, hello' I totally ignore the crashing bore Who lives next door For his conversation's silly Yet I never stub a lily I always say, 'Bonjour', to a lilac 'Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour' I'm absolutely mute With a bully in a suit And I never talk a fruit Have a nurse But I always say, hello to a rose Yes, I always wave at the window box If the box is filled with hollyhocks And I speak to the daisies I think they are swell Tell your secrets to a daisy She'll never tell I always say, 'Hello', to a snow ball 'Hello, hello there, hello' Look sideways at a stranger And you put your life in danger But one can kiss a sweet bouquet A brushing bride has tossed away Flowers are the sweetest things I know So when I see a flower I say, 'Hello' Higher synth I never shrink away from a violet, oh, no No, I say hello I maybe off my rocker But I never pep a co*ker Yet the dog would in the park Will never ever bark I'm always glad to see a gladiola I'm just mad about the glad You can stand next to a bush And never feel one push Flowers are refined and polite You know I have never seen a Pansy fight Yes, I talk to bees And I talk to birds But they leave me quite At a loss for words And I never touch a cat While it sleeps on a pillow But I pause a tibly trust A p**y who willow I always say, 'Hello', to a flower 'Hello, hello, hello' Get friendly with a mouse And he'll hang around your house But flowers never overstay They stay there, then fade away Flowers are the sweetest things I know So when I see a flower I say, 'Hello'
