Doug And The Slugs - Frankie Lyrics

Doug And The Slugs Lyrics

"Frankie"

Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
I get so tired of working deep in this dirty grave
And staying up all night

Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
I'm gonna take all the bits and pieces
I'm gonna make you fit
And get our name up in lights

'Cause nobody listens to no part-time scientist
Man, I'm working that graveyard shift

Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
You're gonna go all the places that I never got to go
You're gonna get your chance

Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
You got the eyes and the ears and mind of this diplomat
I imported from France

'Cause nobody listens to no part-time scientist
Man, I'm working that graveyard shift

Ooh shift

I'm building you up
They're tearing me down
That's the heart of this butcher's town
Drink from my cup
[?] on the crown
And we'll listen to the rabble
As we'll dabble in the magic of clowns

Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
I'm gonna do all those things I said
Just you wait and see
Ah, we're gonna go straight

And Frankie
He's mad
Oh, I mean it
We'll gonna build you limb by limb
Oh, the day will come
When we'll consolidate

'Cause nobody listens to no part-time scientist
Nobody listens to no part-time scientist
Nobody listens to no part-time scientist
Man, I'm working that graveyard shift

Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
Ooh shift
