Mr. Grieves Lyrics
[Intro]
Hope everything is alright
Hope everything is alright
[Verse 1]
What's that floatin' in the water?
Ol' Neptuna's only daughter
I believe in Mr. Grieves
Pray for a man in the middle
One that talks like Doolittle
I believe in Mr. Grieves
[Chorus]

Do you have another opinion?
[Bridge 1]
La la la la
La la la la

La la la la
[Verse 2]
Got bombed, got frozen
Got finally off to finally dozin'
I believe in Mr. Grieves
[Chorus]

[Bridge 2]

But can you swing from a good rope?
Oh, I believe
In Mr. Grieves
[Outro]
Hope everything is alright
Hope everything is alright
