The lawn mower song.

  • I’m a lown mower, not a Boer.
  • I go higher, I go lower.
  • I’m not white, I’m not racist.
  • I’m a lawn mower, I must insist.
  • (Pause for breath.)
  • I’m a lown mower, not a Boer.
  • I like the indigenous peoples.
  • I don’t build oppressive steeples.
  • I’m a lawn mower, not a Boer.
  • I’ve never started a single war.
  • The worst thing I’ve done is stab the poor.
  • (Pause for breath.)
  • I’m a lawn mower, not a Boer.
  • Please don’t tell me to go more slower.
  • I like grammar, I have blades.
  • I will cut you and your children.
