The Return of the Giant Hogweed Lyrics


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 odorThey are invincible,
They seem immune to all our herbicidal batteringLong 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
Royal beast did not forget
He came home to London,
And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew
Waste no time!
They are approaching
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
Strike by night!
They are defenceless

They all need the sun to photosensitize their venomStill they're invincible,
Still they're immune to all our herbicidal batteringFashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens,
In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge
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 our anger.
Kill them with your Hogweed hairs
Heracleum Mantegazziani.
