lyrics

Today the magic of the dandelion flower
offers its grace to personal power
Power in the sense of freedom,
freedom from the practices of weeding them.
Weed them, Why? When they are so pretty.
Let me tell you about it in this Dandelion Ditty.

*Dandelion, you’re so pretty
Let me tell you about it in this Dandelion Ditty.

When you pick them,
you’ve got to play them or eat them,
but promise me that you’ll never ever spray them.
When you harvest these spring greens
There’s so many things to do that are so keen
You can make that yellow petal wine
And that’s a sure fine way to have a good time
Put their dark green leaves in your dinner salad,
That’s how I came to write this dandelion ballad
*
The roots dried and ground make a mighty fine drink
A morning bitter chai, don’t you think?
The best thing about our local dandelions
Is you don’t have to go to the store to buy them
*
So remember to love your dandelion friends, It’s the perfect way to help our world to mend.
By honoring their yellow beauty
We’ll have clean air, healthy kids and honeybees in our community
