Hanging Around Lyrics - Singles - Oconnor Hazel

{Words & Music: The Stranglers} 

Big girl in the red dress 

She's just trying to impress us 

And she's got the barley fever 

But she doesn't make a sound 

She's just hanging around 

She's just hanging around 

Down the court road early 

With the Hustlers big and burly 

There's a million of 'em selling 

And the buyers can be found 

They're just hanging around 

They're just hanging around 

[CHORUS:] 

Christ he told his mother 

Christ he told her not to bother 

Cos he's alright in the city 

He's high above the ground 

He's just hanging around (hanging around) 

He's just hanging around (hanging around) 

He's just hanging around (hanging around) 

He's just hanging around (hanging around) 

One of 'em comes over 

Got a monkey on his shoulder 

And the monkey's getting grinner 

But his eyes are on the ground 

They're just hanging around 

They're just hanging around 

I'm moving to a coleheme 

With the leather all around me 

And the sweat is getting steamy 

But their eyes are on the ground 

They're just hanging around 

They're just hanging around 

[CHORUS 2x] 

He's just hanging around (hanging around) 

He's just hanging around
