The lyrics for the "Anti-Garden Song" are by Eric Kilburn. Here's the full set:
Slug by slug, weed by weed My Garden's got me really teed All the insects love to feed Upon my tomato plants Sunburned face, scratched-up knees My kitchen's choked with zucchinis I'm shopping at the A&P Next time I get a chance
The crabgrass grows, the ragweed thrives The broccoli has long since died The only things still left alive Are some radishes & beans My carrot plants are dead & gone Hear the rabbits sing a happy song Until you've weeded all day long You don't know what boredom means.
You get up early, work til late Watch moles & mice get overweight They eat their dinners on a plate From the hard work you have done As ye sow, so shall ye reap But I smell like a compost heap I'm gonna get that lousy creep Who said gardening was fun.

My Garden's got me really teed
All the insects love to feed
Upon my tomato plants
Sunburned face, scratched-up knees
My kitchen's choked with zucchinis
I'm shopping at the A&P
Next time I get a chance
The crabgrass grows, the ragweed thrives
The broccoli has long since died
The only things still left alive
Are some radishes & beans
My carrot plants are dead & gone
Hear the rabbits sing a happy song
Until you've weeded all day long
You don't know what boredom means.
You get up early, work til late
Watch moles & mice get overweight
They eat their dinners on a plate
From the hard work you have done
As ye sow, so shall ye reap
But I smell like a compost heap
I'm gonna get that lousy creep
Who said gardening was fun.
