Where’s Bill Grundy Now? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He knew they would be on the show (ooh ooh ooh)
But I guess that he wasn't to know (ooh ooh ooh)
We would be asking this question now

[Chorus]
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?

[Verse 2]
He got his photo in the news (la la la)
But he had to suffer their abuse (la la la la)

He led them on now he must go

[Chorus]
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?

[Instrumental Break]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la
Poor Bill Grundy...

[Verse 3]
They said he had too much to drink, (he he he he he)
They said that he just could not think straight (ah ah ah ah)

He set them up then they knocked him down
[Chorus]
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?

[Verse 4]
And all the newspapers did smile (e-e-e-eh)
They spread the story out for miles (e-e-e-eh)
Till Richard and Liz get married again

[Chorus]
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Where's Bill Grundy, now?
Well I ain't seen him......
