lyrics

The Lawn Mower Song (no Capo, key of G)

Long long grass must not last long
Long long grass will soon be long long gone
Once we get around to seeing that
the long long grass is being that long
We start to sing this song... it goes like this

Lawn Mower go, Lawn Mower mow,
Lawn Mower go, go, go, mow, mow, mow
Lawn Mower, I choose you,
Lawn Mower, you're my Pikachu,
Lawn Mower go, use your quick attack,
and take out all this long long long long grass

Short short grass is too short short,
Shortly it shall long again be,
Short short grass is too short short,
Shortly it shall develop an acute shortage of shortness
When that time comes along,
sing this song, it goes like this

Lawn Mower go, Lawn Mower mow,
Lawn Mower go, go, go, mow, mow, mow
Lawn Mower, you're my Pacman,
You're my eat up all the grass man,
Lawn Mower go in straight straight lines,
If you don't like that, concentric circles are just fine HARP

Oh, Reel Mower, Push Mower, Steel Mower, Bush Mower,
Self Propelled Push Mower, Sitting on Your Tush Mower,
Weed Wacker, Stump Hacker, Chain Saw, Car Jacker,
Can't we all get along, Mow it down till it's gone.

Lawn Mower go, Lawn Mower mow,
Lawn Mower go, go, go, mow, mow, mow
Lawn Mower you're my little engine that could,
If only you would be my little engine that would,
You know lawn mowing it's an art,
and half of it's getting the thing to start.

Repeat Pikachu chorus

You know that I would mow my lawn,
if only I could get this thing to turn on.
