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 Mr Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds
- cuckoo 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 time;
there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade
Come up to town!"
But I remembered 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
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
