Chumbawamba – Drip, Drip, Drip lyrics
Eat, sleep and crap, for to prey on your needs
Down a dark street in backwater Leeds
I seen you're comin, "come in, lads!"
You seen the ad? Too bad, bad, bad
What you get is what you see
It's a trickledown theory and it's coming to me
Life's a whip-round and I've got the whip
It's a sinking ship, drip, drip, drip

Drip, drip, drip goes the water... Drip, drip, drip goes the water...
Drip, drip, drip goes the water... Drip, drip, drip goes the water...
Take me in, throw me out, put me up, let me down

Dark, satanic, run-of-the-mill, sing us a song, and I'll send you the bill
My nicotine grip, my smokin' gun
It's how I get my fun, better run, run, run
Your olfactory nerves, all up the spout
You can't smell a rat when your nose is out
Rent-to-kill by any other name, kiss an old flame, shame shame shame

Drip, drip, drip goes the water... Drip, drip, drip goes the water...
Drip, drip, drip goes the water... Drip, drip, drip goes the water...
Take me in, throw me out, put me up, let me down

[people speaking gibberish]

Drip, drip, drip... Drip, drip, drip... Drip, drip, drip... Drip, drip, drip...
(Drip, drip, drip) Take me in (Drip, drip, drip) Throw me out
(Drip, drip, drip) Put me up (Drip, drip, drip) Let me down
(Drip, drip, drip) Take me in (Drip, drip, drip) Throw me out
(Drip, drip, drip) Put me up (Drip, drip, drip) Let me down

[("This guy on the right. Hey hey! Excuse me. Could you move, please? Whoever you are. She's wearing a tie, she doesn't mean to say it very important.")]
