Plantasia

Plantasia, Plantasia

Oh, what a lovely fantasy!

A raindrop falls

Drip drop dop

Adventures of the night calls

Knock knock knock!

Miracles happen, you’ll see it soon.

This whole place will shine and bloom

What tickles the roots of the plant kingdom?

Come and find out, you’ll also get some!

Who sticks their toe into the ground?

Who makes this weird and funny sound?

Plantasia, Plantasia

What a lovely fantasy!
