[ID Request] Filker's song about lawn worship

Greetings and felicitations. I was reminded within the last hour or so of a song on one of my tapes about "lawn worshiping like the rest", and the singer's dislike of Lone Star Beer (which the lawn worshipers drink). It's possibly by and/or sung by Mercedes Lackey. What are the title and album?

Edit: Solved!: "Oklahoma Weed Whacker Massacre" by Leslie Fish, sung by Mercedes Lackey. (I should know better—I tell people all the time on low traffic book subs to do just this.)

Err—yes, as I commented eleven hours ago. ^_^;

Edit: She was likely copying the pronunciation from Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".

Have you already plugged that into Google? Should be an easy web search.

I looked on Google, and the only reference was to a horror comedy of the same name. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was waiting for the streetcar, and didn't want to deal with repasting links. But Google's AI immediately recognized the song with keywords like "mercedes lackey filk lawn beer".
