The Return Of The Giant Hogweed |
| Turn and run |
| Nothing can stop them |
| Around every river and canal their |
| Power is growing |
| Stamp them out |
| We must destroy them |
| They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odor |
| They are invincible |
| They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering |
| Long ago in the Russian hills |
| A Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh |
| He captured it and brought it home |
| Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge |
| The royal beast did not forget |
| So he came home to London |
| And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew |
| Waste no time |
| They’re approaching |
| Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter |
| Strike by night |
| They’re defenseless |
| They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom |
| Still they’re invincible |
| Still they’re immune to all our herbicidal battering |
| Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens |
| In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land |
| Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge |
| The royal beast did not forget |
| Soon they escaped, spreading their seed |
| Preparing for an onslaught |
| Threatening the human race |
| Mighty Hogweed is avenged |
| Human bodies soon will know anger |
| Kill them with your Hogweed hairs |
| Heracleum Mantegazziani |
