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 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.
