• Lyrics:
  chorus: Pretty little flowers in plenty grow,
  Buttercups and daisies!
  Buttercups and daisies!
  All among the grass, so gaily, oh!
  Butercups and daisies grow,
  
  Thorns and weeds our lives surround,
  Nought for that care I,
  Brightest blossoms still abound,
  And content am I.
  
  Pretty little flowers in plenty grow,
  Buttercups and daisies!
  Buttercups and daisies!
  All among the grass, so gaily, oh!
  Butercups and daisies grow,
  
  Pretty little children love to play,
  All among the daisies,
  The buttercups and daisies;
  With their happy faces bright and gay,
  Pretty little flowers are they.
  
  Though this life is full of care,
  Nought for that care I,
  Joy and grief alike we share,
  And content am I.
  
  Pretty little children love to play,
  All among the daisies,
  The buttercups and daisies;
  With their happy faces bright and gay,
  Pretty little flowers are they.
