Backyard [UK Version] lyrics

AMÉLIE:

I washed and folded all of your laundry

I fixed that sink with the leak

I left you some meals in the freezer

Enough to last you a week

So maybe when the weekend is nicer

And you have a day that is free

Papa, you should come and visit me

RAPHAEL spoken):

Oh no, I can't leave my friend here alone, no

AMÉLIE (spoken):

The gnome is keeping you hostage?

RAPHAEL (spoken):

Well, yes

(Sung)

A garden gnome's life isn't easy

His terracotta rots in the turf

Once I went away for a weekend

AMÉLIE:

Great!

RAPHAEL:

A nеighbour painted him like a smurf

I need to be hеre to protect him

Kind of like this bodyguard

I'm better off in my backyard
