I Know What I Like

It's one o'clock and time for lunch
Dum dee dum dee dum dum
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 moving 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, Mister 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 remembered 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
