Spoken: The flowers have gone wild! (x2)
Sung: The flowers have gone wild!
Verse 1:
I like spring. It’s a really great thing
To see the wildflowers blooming all around. (all around)
Orange, white, red, yellow so bright
And tiny purple and pink ones crawling on the ground. (on the ground)
I like how those flowers make me feel so happy I just want to squeal:
Spoken: The flowers have gone wild! (x2)
Sung: The flowers have gone wild!
CHORUS:
The flowers have gone wild with colors bursting in the sun.
The flowers have gone wild, my child. They’re blooming for everyone to see.
The birds are celebrating and the bugs are pollinating.
‘Cause the flowers have gone wild with colors bursting in the sun.
Verse 2:
“I need you and you need me,” said the flowering bush
To the hungry buzzing bee. (buzzing bee)
“I have pollen for you to eat,
And when you move my pollen from flower to flower, you pollinate me.” (pollinate me)
Flower gives a bee a nutritious meal. Oh, if I were a bee, I’d want to squeal:
Spoken: The flowers have gone wild! (x2)
Sung: The flowers have gone wild!
CHORUS
Bridge:
A fertilized flower has the power to produce seeds and fruit.
First pollination, then germination, makes new plants for the next generation.
“If you pollinate me,” said the flower to the beetle,
“Next spring we’ll hear the whole world squeal:”
Spoken: The flowers have gone wild!
(x2)Sung: The flowers have gone wild!
CHORUS
