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, 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 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 plays when you're winning"
I had to thank old Miss Mort for schoooling 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.
