YESTERDAY Revisited

 

Yesterday, all my veggies

        Looked so green and perky.

Now they wilt, roots gall

        And look quite quirky.

Oh, I believe it’s nematodes.

 

Why they like my roots,

        I don’t know.

Pest numbers just explode.

I wish I had rotated crops,

        Darn nematodes.

 

Yesterday all my flowers

        Were so bright and pretty.

Now they grow slow, bulbs rot

        And turn quite gritty.

Oh, I believe it’s nematodes.

 

Why they like my bulbs,

        I don’t know.

Pest numbers just explode.

I wish I had rotated crops,

        Darn nematodes.

 

Based on Yesterday

 

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

 

Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

 

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.  (chorus)

 

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be.

There’s a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, yesterday came suddenly. (chorus)
