Lawn Mower Man Blues

© Mark Betcher

I want a lawn mower. A good lawn mower
With adjustable wheels. So she’ll mow little lower

I want a lawn mover. A good lawn mower
With no off switch. So she’ll go full power

I want a lawn mower.... one’s that FOR cycle real

I want to Mow Mow Mow your Lawn
I want Mo Mo Mo of your Lawn to Mow

I want to Mow Mow Mow your Lawn
I want Mo Mo Mo of your Lawn to Mow

Look at my new cutting machine Baby....
It’s one your lawn anit never seen

I want the soft seated model. One that drives slow
Cast iron transmission. Just to keep me in tow

I want a high powered engine. And I have the dough
I don’t need no eletrical start. Because she’s always ready to go

I want a lawn mower.... one’s that FOR cycle real

Now I can mow around your yard in a circle

Or I can mow around your yard in squares

Or I can mow your yard in straight lines

Or you can mow that yard later HONEY! Now you all come
straight inside... you foolish man!

Why don’t you just come inside!
