Notes:A classic novelty song (often dated to the 1940s) about a petunia stuck in an onion patch. Encourage big, dramatic "Boo hoo!" lines and a mock "onion smell" sniffle for laughs; great as a gentle singalong.

Of G7all the saddest words

that CI have ever heard

The D7saddest is the story that was

Gtole me Cby a bird.

He had Gspent about an hour

Cchatting with a flower,

And D7here's the tale the flower toldG


I'm a Glonely little petunia in an Conion patch,

An D7onion patch, yes an GonCion patch.

I'm a Glonely little petunia in an onCion patch,

And D7all I do is cry all Gday.

Boo Choo! BooChoo!

The Gair's so strong, it A7takes my breath aD7way.

I'm a Glonely little petunia in an Conion patch,

Oh D7won't you come and play with Gme?

(I'm lonely (D:Dmajor7:D7))


He Gput me in this bed, I'll Cbet his face is red.

'Cause I D7call him down with every Gteardrop Cthat I Gshed.

If I Gonly had hime here, I'd Ctake him by the ear

And D7make him share my miserGy.


I'm a Glonely little petunia in an Conion patch,

An D7onion patch, yes an GonCion patch.

I'm a Glonely little petunia in an onCion patch,

And D7all I do is cry all Gday.

Boo Choo! BooChoo!

The Gair's so strong, it A7takes my breath aD7way.

I'm a Glonely little petunia in an Conion patch,

Oh D7won't you come and play with Gme?


Oh D7won't you come and play with Gme?
