Giles, Giles And Fripp - Digging My Lawn lyrics

Early one Sunday – well, anyway, early for me As I slid from my double-bed what could I see? Standing outside as the night turned to dawn There was a man who I didn't know digging my lawn Was it her husband, I pondered, or was he a crook? Why was he taking car numbers down in a book? I started to ring and I rung ninety-nine "Nein, you must not," she said She was half German, half out of bed Which half was which doesn't have to be said Turning her head Her face was red "He is my husband," she whispered; I started to sweat Just my luck when I'd only done this for a bet Standing outside as the night turned to dawn There was a man who I didn't know digging my lawn
