Drawn by your colors I could scale the garden wall
Past the "Don''t Enter" signs and trying not to fall (and break my neck)
I should pick roses but I can''t do as I am told
And you look so pretty in the light I want a bunch to hold

Watch each step I take so carefully
''Cause one false move and you''re screamin''
Don''t tread on me, don''t tread on me, no

Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold
But the farmer''s daughter''s chasing me away

Laying my head down in a patch of orange and green
The smell in the air is strong, still I can''t make myself leave
You''re my temptation ''cause those petals look so sweet
I thought you were gentle but you''re not
And you''re poisonous to eat

Caught green-handed trying to sneak you out
With yellow on my chin and a stem in my mouth
Then I whispered too loudly

Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold
But the farmer''s daughter''s chasing me away
and I want my soul again, I want my heart to mend
But Mr. Marigold won''t let me stay

woohoowoohoo...

I Watch each step I take so carefully, carefully
''Cause one false move and you''re screamin''
Don''t tread on me, don''t tread on me, no

Mr. Marigold I want your hand to hold
But the farmer''s daughter''s chasing me away
I want my soul again, I want my heart to mend
But Mr. Marigold, Mr. Marigold

Oh Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold
But the farmer''s daughter''s chasing me away
I want my soul again I want my heart to mend
But Mr. Marigold, Mr. Marigold...
