[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


[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
