Here Comes The Grump
Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants
When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
Listen close to what men say
Take what you want
And throw the rest away
When you get a number one
The only way is down
And if you have a sticky patch
They start looking, start looking around
In the night when things go bump
Think of me think
Here comes the grump, here comes the grump
Doctors said "adam, sex kills"
So come inside and die
Here Comes The Grump
