Lyrics

It's one o'clock and time for lunch
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk

There's always been ethel:
"Jacob, wake up! you've got to tidy your room now."
And then mister lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - coo-coo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp..

I know what I like, and I like what I know;
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show

Sunday night, mr farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
In the fire escape trade. come up to town!"
But I remebered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
- I had to thank old miss mort for schooling a failure
Keep them mowing blades sharp..

I know what I like, and I like what I know;
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk
