## Lyrics

**CD version**

Mr. Grumble is a misery, of that you can be sure

he will grumble at the doorbell as he stumbles to the door.

He will grumble in the morning, he will grumble late at night.

He will grumble when it's raining, he will grumble when it's bright.

He will grumble when it's windy, he will grumble when it's not.

He will grumble even though he doesn't mean to.

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Mr. Grumble: (spoken) Bah! I hate wizards!

Wizard: (spoken) Well, I don't like people who are constantly grumbling and moaning!

Mr. Grumble:....Bah!

He will grumble when it's cold, he will grumble when it's warm.

He will grumble and he'll mumble as he stumbles through a storm.

He will grumble when it's windy when he wants to fly his kite.

He will grumble in the evening 'cause it isn't very light!

He will grumble in the morning 'cause it seems so very bright.

He will grumble even though he doesn't mean to!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!-fades out-

**Cassette version**

Mr. Grumble: Bah! It's the start of yet another horrible day.

Mr. Grumble is a misery, of that you can be sure

he will grumble at the doorbell as he stumbles to the door.

He will grumble in the morning, he will grumble late at night.

He will grumble when it's raining, he will grumble when it's bright.

He will grumble when it's windy, he will grumble when it's not.

He will grumble even though he doesn't mean to.

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

He will grumble in the morning, he will grumble late at night.

He will grumble if you're generous and will grumble if you're tight.

He will grumble in the kitchen, he will grumble in the lounge.

He will grumble if you're giving, he will grumble if you scrounge.

He will grumble by the seaside and he'll grumble in the town.

He will grumble even though he doesn't mean to!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Mr. Grumble: Bah! I hate wizards!

Wizard: Well, I don't like people who are constantly grumbling and moaning!

Mr. Grumble:....Bah!

He will grumble when it's cold, he will grumble when it's warm.

He will grumble and he'll mumble as he stumbles through a storm.

He will grumble when it's windy when he wants to fly his kite.

He will grumble in the evening 'cause it isn't very light!

He will grumble in the morning 'cause it seems so very bright.

He will grumble even though he doesn't mean to!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Never thinks that anything is ever gonna turn out right!

Poor old Mr. Grumble!

Everything is always half wrong and it's never half right!

Mr. Grumble: Bah! I can't stand singing and laughing!
