Lyrics | [Verse 1: Mike Skinner] A new day, another morning after Leanin' back on my chair in a greasy spoon cafeteria Last night was some beer-lairy-ness done our way But again, we're back in the light of day Chattin' shit, sittin' at the wall table, tellin' jokes Playin' with the salt, looking out the window Girl brings two plates of full English over With plenty of scrambled eggs and plenty of fried tomato Get my phone out, 'bout to give this girl a shout See if she had a nice time last night uptown Ask if she fancies tryin' it again some time Then Calv grabs the phone like "Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!" [Chorus: Calvin Bailey] Hold it down, boy, your head's gettin' blurred I know you can't stop thinkin' of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself [Interlude] Seriously Mick, you fucker No, no, no! Do you know what I mean? I'll fuckin'— I'm— no way, really, do you know what I mean? I'm fuckin'— I can take it or leave it, believe And then Calvin's like, "Oi!" [Verse 2: Mike Skinner] You need to hold it down, Jack, put your phone back Quit starin' into space and eat your snack, that's that She'll want you much more for not hangin' on Stop me if I'm wrong, stop me if I'm wrong Why should she be the one who decides Whether it's off or on, or on, or off or on? Now the girl's rude, I know she's rude But she's screwed right through you, you'll be on your knees soon [Chorus: Calvin Bailey] Hold it down, boy, your head's gettin' blurred I know you can't stop thinkin' of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself You might also like[Verse 3: Mike Skinner] And I'm like, honestly, it's not like that You're actin' like I'm prancin' like a sap Jumpin' when she claps and that Oi, do you really think I act wack? 'Cause I'm telling ya I'm servin' the aces and it's game, set and match Perfectly in control of this goal I've got the lead role, won't be foldin', I'm older than you told Girl sold, high speed's gold Game over, game over, too cold [Chorus: Calvin Bailey] Hold it down, boy, your head's gettin' blurred I know you can't stop thinkin' of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself Hold it down, boy, your head's gettin' blurred I know you can't stop thinkin' of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself [Outro: Calvin Bailey] Oh-oh, yeah Hold it down, boy, your head's gettin' blurred I know you can't stop thinkin' of her That girl is— she has smelly on her Ps She must have crab and fuckin' shrimp in her teeth (Oh-oh-oh) No, oh, no, that's it, that's it Hold on, let me go again, let me go again Are we— Are we still recording? Woah, yeah |
