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
