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 odour.
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.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 shelterStrike by night!They are defenceless.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.Royal beast did not forget.Soon they escaped, spreading their seed,Preparing for an onslaught, threatening the human race.
The Dance Of The Giant Hogweed
Mighty Hogweed is avenged.Human bodies soon will know our anger.Kill them with your Hogweed hairsHERACLEUM MANTEGAZZIANI
Giant Hogweed lives

Run away!They're irrepressibleAlong every bank and stream their incisors are gnawingMake them extinct!We must obliterateThey're uneasy on the eye with their brown pellage
They're unstoppableRat poison is like breakfast cereal to them
Down some Latin American riverPossibly the OrinocoAn explorer found a mini-capybaraHe asked "What is that?""And can we eat them?"And brought it homePresented it to the zoo in Regent's Park
Don't delay!They are swimmingChop, chop! We must protect East Anglian river banks
Shoot nocturnallyThey'll face our bulletsLead will embed itself in their warm bodies
Fashionable ladies liked to wear their furs to luncheonThey planted rodent coats on every coat-hook in the landZoological beast lurks, seeking retributionVenezuela didn't forgetThey absconded, mated and bredPreparing to take over Planet Earth
Coypu rules supreme!It's name on every tongue in Christendom!Myocastor coypus

They are perky,They seem immune to all our verbal battering.
Long ago in the a Hair Salon ,A CBS explorer found the regal Simmons by a refrigerator,He captured it and brought it home.FLailing creature stirs, seeking revenge.Curly haired beast did not forget.He came home to Ned Ragget's Love Podium,And made a present of the workout to the natio.
Waste not want not!They are crying about flab.Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelterStrike by fist!They are puny to the touch .They all need the TV to protect them.
Still they're invincible,Still they're immune to all our verbal battering.

Yeah! A bunch of it grows near our town and there are always warnings in the paper not to touch it.
