ADULT GARDENERS: V stands for Victory
CHILDREN: V stands for Vegetable (grimacing at the thought of vegetables)
ALL: Our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
Growing things together
Will make our families strong
We’re soldiers without uniforms
Keeping our country moving along
With our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
ADULTS: V stands for vacant lot
Let’s till this verdant plot
Plant rows and rows of beans
Waste not, Want not
CHILDREN (acting tired and warm): V stands for very hot
Please, Mama can we stop?
MAMAS (comforting children and explaining by hugs, the meaning of “OUR”): OUR Victory Garden
ALL: Our Victory Garden
We’re more self reliant
As you can plainly see
More produce from our garden means
More food will be sent over the seas
From our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
( A beautiful butterfly enters the scene near Joyce and Vanessa’s garden)
VANESSA (spoken): Mama look! A butterfly! (She runs off after it)
JOYCE (spoken): Vanessa! Come back here! You know you promised to help me pick these weeds! That girl!
(Sung) V stands for Vanessa
My Butterfly Girl
Floating, flitting freely
Across our small world
May the wind lift you gently
May you light without harm
May the Good Lord hold you in his arms
And when you fly butterfly, fly back home again
I’ll be waiting
In our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
ALL: Our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
When this fight is over
Our boys will come back home
And we’ll be right here waiting
In our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
Our Victory Garden
