A pastiche of It's My Party by Lesley Gore

What secret? Image made with Magic Studio AI.

It’s my garden and it’s dry so I’ll water

Pick a new flower

Get caught in a shower

It helps me chase away my blues

*******

Nobody knows where Johnny has gone (Johnny has gone)

And he’s been gone for a while

I may know, but I’ll never tell

When nobody’s round, I secretly smile

*******

(Chorus)

*******

I caught Johnny stepping out with a girl (Out with a girl)

You cheat on me, I get mean

I made a dinner, set the plates with a whirl

And a luscious arsenic pie

*******

(Chorus)

*******

Now everyone thinks that he ran away (He ran away)

Did something bad and skipped town

My garden’s so pretty, it flowers all day

Especially on the new mound

*******

(Outro Chorus and Fade)
