Go ahead as you waste your days being lazy
When the grass grows too tall
Another day and you’ll get mail from the mayor
With a letter saying
“Grass has grown too tall,
You better mow the lawn.”

Can’t you see, that when the grass has grown too tall,
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I need you to.
And even when your mower’s gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
Mow the lawn
Mow the lawn

So a day when you've lost another mower
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a type that will cut down every corner
All the yard falls in your hands
You can get John Deere
But please don’t get a lawn-boy.

Can’t you see, that when the grass has grown too tall,
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I need you to.
And even when your mower’s gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
Mow the lawn
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

Cut that what is long, we mow the lawn
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Everything is long, we mow the lawn
The lawn, the lawn, the lawn.

When the grass has grown too tall,
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I need you to.
And even when your mower’s gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
[x3]

Mow the lawn
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Cut that what is long, we mow the lawn
