Mucky Roller

(I’m) ready for editioning, editioning
Gotta get it over the line, you know? But
Someone’s left a mess again, a mess again
Studio is covered in grime all over
 
Never clean it up, what a grot! Ink all over the blanket
Missed a spot, gettin’ hot
Under the collar now
 
Why, why? My, my, my, wooh!
M-m-m-mucky roller
 
When I open up the ink, why is it pink?
Looking like the scene of a crime. You know,
There’s something with a mighty stink, beneath the sink
The universe is sending a sign, to go
 
You never clean it up, such a grot, ink all over the blanket
Missed a spot, gettin’ hot
Under the collar now
 
Why, why? My, my, my, Wooh!
M-m-m-mucky roller
M-m-m-mucky roller
 
Lead break
 
Can’t read the label on the tin, even a hint
Underneath a layer of green, all over
You’d reckon that it was a sin, to use a bin
Where the hell’s this spatula been,
Moreover?
 
Never clean it up, such a grot,
Ink all over the blanket
Missed a spot, gettin’ hot
Under the collar now

Why, why, why, why why? Wooh!
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, my my, Wooh!,
M-m-m-mucky roller
M-m-m-mucky roller
M-m-m-mucky roller
M-m-m-mucky roller
 
Ooooh, Why? Mucky roller
Ooooh, Why? Mucky roller
Ooooh, Why? Mucky roller
