Reginald Ludwig Songtext
von Zager & Evans

Congratulations Reginald Ludvig
On buying five thousand shares of A. P. and B.
You′re looking good in your shiny new car
Mister Ludvig
Sit tall so the whole wide world can see you driving
Down the road to fame and fortune

Hey, hey, hey Reginald Ludvig
I hear you got a seven bedroom goldfish bowl
You got a green fifty horsepower tractor lawnmower
Sit tall so the whole wide world will know
You're mowing down the grass your yard man planted

You got a real fine wife Mister Reginald Ludvig
She′s got manners and poise
And all the other good things
When you take her to church Mister Reginald Ludvig
Sit tall so the whole wide world can see you praying
And see you sitting with a lovely woman at your side


I'd like to ask you a question Reginald Ludvig
It's about those shares of A. P. and B.
Where′d you get all that money to buy Mister Ludvig?
You better hide your head so no-one will see
It came from a little bit of cheating on your income tax
Of course you intend to pay that back
Or maybe you′ll just forget about that
Kinda like you did a couple a years back

Now about your luxuries Reginald Ludvig
Talking bout that fifty horsepower lawnmower
What's wrong with a simple little monkey wards push it?
How strong do you think a blade of grass can grow?
Come on now you bought it
Cause your neighbours have one
And you ain′t got no soul

Hey, hey, hey Reginald Ludvig
I'd like to tell you something
I hope you′ll understand
You been neglecting your wife
For such a long, long time
She's been coming to see your hard working yard man
Excuse me please while I go and till some soil
And think about owning that goldfish bowl hey


Mow on Ludvig
Mow the cement Ludvig
Mow the trees
The neighbour′s kids
Mow on Ludvig
Mow, mow, mow, mow, mow, mow, oh, oh
Mow on Ludvig.
