I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)

It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
dum de dum de 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 mowing 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, Mr Farmer called,
said:"Listen son, you're wasting 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.
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.
