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
