I'm A Mummy

I'm a Mummy

I scare people

Look what happens when I walk up to somebody

I'm a Mummy

I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty nine years ago

Look what happens when I walk up to somebody

I don't try to scare people

I really came back to meet Paul McCartney

But people run from me

Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody

I wish there was someone somewhere that wasn't scared of me

I'm a Mummy

Hide quick a Mummy

Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody

Aaaah!

I don't try to scare people

But look what happens when I walk up to somebody

I'm a Mummy

Skinny Mummy

You don't scare me

What's happening here?

You're not mad enough

Skinny Mummy

I'm a fifth element

My daddy was a mummy too

They were born one thousand and sixty six nine hundred years ago

But look what happens when I walk up to somebody

Mercy

I'm outta here

I'm A Mummy

Released by the English post-punk band Fall, 'I'm A Mummy' stands as a defining track from their 1982 debut album, *This Is Our Last Night*. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of driving rhythms, distorted guitars, and a distinctive vocal style that became central to their identity. As a key component of their early discography, the recording captures the raw energy and experimental spirit of the early 1980s UK punk scene. It remains a staple in the band's catalog, often cited alongside other seminal works like 'Lucifer Over Lancashire' and 'Sleep Debt Snatches' for its role in establishing Fall's reputation as pioneers of the genre.
