lyrics

Mister Foster, Mister Foster
Mowed his lawn, mowed his lawn
The grass it kept on growing
Grass it kept on growing
All day long
All day long

All his neighbors, all his neighbors
H.O.A., H.O.A
Wrote him angry letters
Wrote him angry letters
Every day, every day

They all judged him, they all judged him
On the block, on the block
No amount of mowing
No amount of mowing
Made it stop, made it stop

Father Duncan, Father Duncan
Dropped on by, dropped on by
Armed with holy water
Still the grass grew taller
Towards the sky
Towards the sky

Foster mowed down, Foster mowed down
Every blade, every blade
Foster didn't notice, Foster didn't notice
The mess he made, mess he made

Nothing grows there
Nothings grows there
Anymore, anymore
He still gets angry letters
Still gets angry letters
From next door
