[Verse 1]
You've been a fool and so have I
But come and be my wife
And let us try before we die
To make some sense of life

[Chorus]
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house, and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow

[Verse 2]
I thought the world was sugarcake
For so our master said
But now I'll teach my hands to bake
Our loaf of daily bread

[Chorus]
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build house, and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
[Verse 3]
Let dreamers dream what worlds they please
Those Edens can't be found
The sweetest flowers, the fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground

[Chorus]
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house, and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
