Mowing the Lawn

There I was with green grass growing, grass that must be mowed
Time to start the weekly shearing, from the sidewalk to the road
Even though I don't care if it's brown or green
Neighbour standards won't let up so I've got to play this scene

Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn

How I hate this stupid mower, it won't even start
It's full of gas and I pushed the choke, is it missing a special part?
Pull the ripcord engine coughs, just before it rains
I'd be cozy and warm inside if only I had any brains!

Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn

Now I've shorn the grass down to nubs, it's been trimmed but good
Manicured and neatly trimmed, I did the best I could
But in just a few short days it shall grow again
Mowing the lawn is meaningless, a source of never-ending pain!

Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn
