Jax and Lawnmower

Lyrics

[Radio Narrator Voice] Well folks, it’s another sunny Saturday in suburbia, and you know what that means — the battle of the blades is on! Every Dutch Shepherd in town has declared war on the lawnmower, that noisy metal beast invading their turf. So grab your earplugs and your treats, ‘cause it’s tails versus torque out there on the front lawn! [Music Starts] [Verse 1] Well I got me a shepherd, tough as nails, Guardin’ the house and waggin’ his tail, But soon as I roll out that mowin’ machine, He barks like it’s World War Seventeen. [Chorus] He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, oh baby it’s true, Growlin’ at the Briggs and Stratton like it stole his chew, He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, yeah the grass don’t stand a chance, Every Saturday morning, it’s bark, jump, and dance. [Verse 2] Now the neighbors peekin’, laughin’ down the line, Say, “That Dutch dog’s crazy — thinks the mower’s a crime!” I just smile and wave, yeah, it’s quite the scene, It’s man versus dog versus mowing machine. [Chorus] He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, oh baby it’s true, Growlin’ at the Briggs and Stratton like it stole his chew, He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, yeah the grass don’t stand a chance, Every Saturday morning, it’s bark, jump, and dance. [Bridge] So if you hear that engine roar, And see paws flyin’ ‘cross your floor, Don’t you worry, don’t you hide — It’s just my shepherd takin’ mower pride. [Final Chorus] He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, barkin’ in tune, Chasin’ grass clippin’ demons ‘neath the summer moon, He’s got the Lawnmower Blues, oh baby it’s true, When that mower starts hummin’, he’s got work to do. [Music fades out with a vintage radio crackle and one last bark.]
