[Verse 1] Well, I went out back, sun beatin' down, yeah, Lawn so high, looks like a prairie town. Grabbed my old mower, dusted off the rust, Pulled that cord like I always trust. But it sputtered, coughed, an’ made no sound, Lord, it’s been 190 days since I last mowed this ground. [Chorus] Ooooh, 190 days, and the grass won’t wait no mo' Yeah, 190 days, but my mower says, “no-go.” I got the pull-pull-whoa-whoa blues, And my backyard's lookin' like the ol' bayou. [Verse 2] I gave it some gas, gave it some oil, Gave it a shake, and a whole lotta toil. Said a little prayer, gave a little grunt, Oh, but that mower just won’t start its hunt. Got weeds so high, they block out the sun, And this lawnmower’s tellin’ me it’s all done! [Chorus] Ooooh, 190 days, and the jungle’s takin' hold, Yeah, 190 days, feels like I’m too old. Got the pull-pull-whoa-whoa blues, An' my mower’s givin' me that ol’ bad news. [Bridge] Do-doo-da-da—ain’t makin' a sound, Mower says, “Nope, I’m shut down.” Shoo-wop-skeedle-dee, pull that rope again, But it's just laughin' at my frustration, friend! [Verse 3] So I threw down my hat, let out a sigh, Watched that grass just growin' high. Guess I’ll grab my shears, start cuttin’ by hand, This lawn’s gone wild, like untamed land. Yeah, next time I’ll try to mow on time, But right now, this ol' mower’s crossed the line! [Outro Chorus] Ooooh, 190 days, it’s the jungle or me, 190 days, an' this yard is runnin' free. Got the pull-pull-whoa-whoa blues, While that mower kicks back like it’s hittin’ the snooze! [Outro] Da-da-whoa, mower said “no” Do-bee-da-ba, I ain’t got no show. Shang-a-lang, in this grass I’m stuck, Looks like I’m done runnin’ outta luck.
