lyrics

There's an impressive feathery bush on show at number forty-six
And I've heard they're very hospitable, doing their party tricks

Visitors: all walks of life keep arriving; man and wife
Come all hours, day or night: there seem a lot of partners
People arriving two by two; in the heart of suburbia
All dressed up to impress - they must be keen gardeners

Pampas grass, pampas grass, what do you mean?
Pampas grass, pampas grass, are you winking at me?
Pampas grass, pampas grass, a horticultural dream
Pampas grass, pampas grass, swinging: swinging in the breeze!

There's more to this than meets the eye
They're not a green-fingered bunch
It's not just rumours
About this house of fun
I saw it in a magazine,
Louis joined in on TV
Realisation dawned on me -
They're not just pulling weeds

There's an impressive feathery bush on show, I see how they get their kicks
They really are very hospitable and now I'm joining in their party tricks
