The Community Gardening Song

Adapted for the 100 Mile Diet by Carol Popovic  and Candace Wormsbecker

(Sung to the tune of “I would walk 500 Miles”

When I till, (when I till),
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the soil tilled by you, (Yeah I know)
When I go out, (to the garden)
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the hoe who goes along with you, (who?)
If I get some seeds, (If I get some seeds,) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the seeds who get planted by you, (yeah) Yes!
And if I sweat, (when I sweat..,) yeah I know I'm gonna be (I'm gonna be) the one who's a stinky poo, (A stinky poo)

And I would eat in 1 mile
And I would eat in 10 miles more
Just to be the food grown in a community garden  
To go through your front door

When I'm weeding, (when I'm weeding,)
Yes I know I'm gonna be (I'm gonna be) the weeds who's working against you, (shak a ka)
And when the produce, (and when the produce,)
Comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every carrot on to you
When I come home (when I come),
I know I'm gonna be (I'm gonna be) the dirt who's coming home with you
And when I get old, (when I get old) well I know I'm gonna be (I'm gonna be) the food in your composter

(Now!)
But I would eat in 1 mile
And I would eat up to 10 miles
Just, to, be, the, food grown in a community garden
And To go into your soup

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)
Da da lat da (Da da lat da)
... etc. x2

When I'm hungry, (well I know) I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the food who's comforts you
When I'm gardening, (well I know) I'm gonna think
I'm gonna think about the veggies soon in my fridge
When I go out (to the garden), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the rake who goes along with you
And when I come home, (when I come home,)
Yeah I know I'm gonna be (I'm gonna be) the veggies coming home with you
I'm gonna be the veggies coming home with you

But I would eat in 1 mile
And I would eat up to 10 miles more
Just to be the food grown in a community garden
And go in your freezer

Da da lat da (Da da lat da)
Da da lat da (Da da lat da)
... Etc... x5
