Lyrics

Mr. Grieves

[Chorus] Hope everything is all right Hope everything is all right [Verse 1] What's that floating 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 [Bridge] Do you have another opinion? Do you have another opinion? Do you have another opinion? Do you have another opinion? [Verse 2] You can cry, you can mope But can you swing from a good good rope? Oh, I believe in Mr. Grieves Oh, I believe in Mr. Grieves [Chorus] Hope everything is all right Hope everything is all right [Verse 3] Got fallen, got frozen Got finally up to the finally dozing I believe in Mr. Grieves I believe in Mr. Grieves
