Artist/Band: Elvis Presley
Lyrics for Song: Petunia, the Gardener's Daughter
Lyrics for Album: Frankie and Johnny/Paradise Hawaiian Style



IÂ’ve gotta gal, oh what a pal
The apple of my eye
With something rare, a peach of a pear
But her dad wonÂ’t let us meet and I could die

I love petunia the gardenerÂ’s daughter
Oooh how that gal can kiss
Her eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me
IÂ’m as daffy as a daffodil
I long to kiss her all the time
Tonight IÂ’ll steal into her garden
And make petuniaÂ’s two lips mine

(IÂ’ve got a beau, I love him so
The apple of my eye
With something rare, a peach of a pear
But my dad wonÂ’t let us meet and I could die)

And we could die

I love petunia the gardenerÂ’s daughter
Oooh how that gal can kiss
(my eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see)
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me

(heÂ’s as daffy as a daffodil
He loves to kiss me all the time)
Tonight IÂ’ll steal into her garden
And make petuniaÂ’s two lips mine

She makes other girls look just like weeds
(IÂ’m gonna be his clinging vine)
Tonight IÂ’ll steal into her garden
And make petuniaÂ’s two lips
(my ever loving two lips)
Make petuniaÂ’s two lips mine


Petunia, the Gardener's Daughter

Petunia, the Gardener's Daughter stands as a charming example of Elvis Presley's playful approach to novelty songs during his mid-career era. Recorded for the soundtrack of Paradise Hawaiian Style, the track showcases the King's ability to blend light-hearted storytelling with his signature vocal warmth. The song reflects a period where Presley frequently explored narrative-driven compositions that complemented his film roles, offering listeners a glimpse into his versatility beyond serious ballads or rock anthems. While not among his most commercially dominant singles, the recording remains a delightful song in his extensive discography, capturing the whimsical spirit of his 1960s output. It serves as a reminder of how Presley utilized his vast catalogue to experiment with character-driven themes, ensuring his music resonated with audiences seeking both entertainment and emotional connection.
