{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
