Nighttime Gardener

Give me one night in your garden, baby, I’ll show you what I know (x2)
I’m a nighttime gardener, I can make anything grow

You got a man watering your garden, baby, he ain’t doing it right (x2)
He’s trying to do it in the daytime, when he should be doing it at night

I don’t pull my lawnmower out till the sun goes down
I got an easy cutting mower, it don’t make a sound
If you let me be your gardener, I’ll do it right
But I don’t start to work girl until after midnight
I’m a nighttime gardener, let me do your yard for you

I’m a nighttime gardener, I’ll do anything to please
Yes I’m a nighttime gardener girl, I’ll cut your yard to please
If I can’t do it standing up, I even get down on my knees

I’ll cut your grass, rake your leaves
All my work, girl, is guaranteed
I’ll do your yard, I’ll do it right
I don’t start to work till way after midnight
I’m a nighttime gardener, let me do your yard for you

If your yard needs fertilizing, I got fertilizer for you (x2)
Yes, I’m a nighttime gardener, and I knows what to do
