Lyrics Genesis – I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
Text:
It’s one o’clock and time for lunch
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
There’s always been Ethel
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
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
