[Intro]
Oh!
[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
[Verse 1]
The tilt of the earth
Makes the sun high
In the bright summer sky
Intensity of light
The earth turns around the sun
Spinning around the sun
[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Yes, he does
Uncle Jackdaw (Daw)
You see, he's heard it all before
Ancient and reborn
[Verse 2]
The flowers and the leaves
The birds and the seeds
The flowers draw the bees
And just after three
Evergreen and a mug of tea
Dog and master sound asleep
[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
[Post-Chorus]
Ha, ha-ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Don't you know
The hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel
Hedgerow, oh-oh
Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)
Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds (Don't you know)
Fox earths, rabbit warrens (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Badger’s sets, partridge nests (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)
Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)
Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds
[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
The song of the hedgerows
[Outro]
