Colin Hay - Mr. Grogan lyrics

Mr. Grogan he locks up for the evening and he He bu*tons up his coat Outside the temperature is thirteen below freezing so he He makes a mental note Tonight he'll walk home as he's grown soft in the middle And his life is not what he had hoped His Labradoodle waits and paces down the hallway and she She loves him just the same Mr. Grogan walks through fresh and fallen snow as he slows And waves the streetcar on Sometimes his tidy mind it wanders and remembers And all he once knew is all gone His slip is silent as he falls and hits the sidewalk And leaves a small stain in the snow His Labradoodle waits and paces down the hallway And she cries until she wakes the neighbor Joe Mr. Grogan he was taken to emergency and He stayed there for a week He answered questions from his many concerned customers Who told him to rest and get some sleep Mr. Grogan turned the lights on in his workshop and Checked the black and blue upon his face He touched the photographs that stood upon the mantel And everything was in its place Mr. Grogan he locks up for the evening and he He bu*tons up his coat Outside the temperature is thirteen below freezing so he He makes a mental note No more walking in the snow after midnight Or even walking in the rain His Labradoodle waits and paces down the hallway and she She loves him just the same
