{Words & Music: The Stranglers}Big girl in the red dressShe's just trying to impress usAnd she's got the barley feverBut she doesn't make a soundShe's just hanging aroundShe's just hanging aroundDown the court road earlyWith the Hustlers big and burlyThere's a million of 'em sellingAnd the buyers can be foundThey're just hanging aroundThey're just hanging around[CHORUS:]Christ he told his motherChrist he told her not to botherCos he's alright in the cityHe's high above the groundHe'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 overGot a monkey on his shoulderAnd the monkey's getting grinnerBut his eyes are on the groundThey're just hanging aroundThey're just hanging aroundI'm moving to a colehemeWith the leather all around meAnd the sweat is getting steamyBut their eyes are on the groundThey're just hanging aroundThey're just hanging around[CHORUS 2x]He's just hanging around (hanging around)He's just hanging around
