intro: drum counts in on hi-hat, keyboard plays chord of Am twice
Am C G (x6, bass enters 3rd time)
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 them selling and the buyers can't be found
They're just hanging around ... they're just hanging around
Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around) (<- repeat x4)
One of them comes closer, he's got a monkey on his shoulder
And the monkey's getting grinner, but his eyes are on the ground
He's just hanging around ... he's just hanging around
I'm moving in the Coleherne 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
Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground
He's just hanging around (hanging around) (<- repeat x4)
