    Whose petunias were mentioned in trying to prevent a suicide?

    Question #28011. Asked by Barrel makers cat. (Feb 11 03 11:33 PM)


    Tabby Tom

    		Mother's

    DON'T JUMP OFF THE ROOF, DAD
    Homer and Jethro - 1961
    Tommy Cooper - 1961


    Daddy came home from work tired
    His boss had been driving him mad.
    The kids were all shouting, the dog bit him too
    His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew.

    I guess it was then he decided
    Up to the rooftop he'd go
    He was about to jump off when
    The kids started howling below

    'Don't jump off the roof, Dad
    You'll make a hole in the yard
    Mother's just planted petunias
    The weeding and seeding was hard

    If you must end it all, Dad
    Won't you please give us a break
    Just take a walk down the park, Dad
    And there you can jump in the lake.'

    The words can be found on a number of websites.
