IF YOU CAN SMELL IT, YOU'VE INHALED IT

(Getting Down to Grass Facts)

I would like to clue you in
So your neighbors' yards won't do you in
Look for clover and dandelion
If a lawn's safe for them
That's a healthy sign
Otherwise get wise
Avoid a yard where everything dies
Except grass

Pesticide applied
Please keep off the grass
Keep off, keep off, kapoof , kaput
Please keep off the grass
Cover your nose
Protect your toes
Don't let any get on your clothes
Don't breathe as you go past

Let me warn both you and your pet
If your yard's been treated skip your tagamet
For pesticide application interacts with medication
Kills off more than vegetation
Yet people spray
Then let their kids play
Thinking it will just
Go away

Pesticide applied
Please keep off the grass
Keep off, keep off, kapoof, kaput
Please keep off the grass
Cover your nose
Protect your toes
Don't let any get on your clothes
Don't breathe as you go past
