Why Can't I Have That Green Green Grass at Home?

Don't ever try and create even a TINY English lawn under the baking sun of the South of France.
The words of the song (written out below) speak for themselves.
I purchased the backing from www.karaoke-version.com

The old lawn looks the same
As I mow the darned thing again
What with drought and burning sun and mostly cat's pee
It never stood a chance with all my labours
Of looking something like the neighbours'
I'll never have that green green grass at home.

So I dug it up and put down plastic
All my friends were so sarcastic
But I so want to have green grass at home.

But then, I thought at last,
Weeds were things of the past
All that fertilizer and water down the drain.

I need never have to think about holes
Made by naughty digging moles
At last I'd have green grass at home again.

Then I woke and looked around me
At the garden walls that surround me
And I realized, yes, that I was only dreaming.
For there's a mound of earth and a funny furrow
Made by something that likes to burrow
Under my plastic green green grass at home.

So I ripped it up and found a frigging
Plastic mole who goes on digging
Up my only chance of green grass at home.

My humble apologies to the wonderful Tom Jones and the original song "Thee Green Green Grass of Home".
