Dumb Waiters Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me all your paper ma, give me all your jazz
Give me something that I need, something I can have
Mrs. London's coming 'round she's coming with her son
Gimme all your paper ah so I can get a gun

[Pre-Chorus]
She has got it in for me
Yeah i mean it honestly

[Chorus]
She's so mean

[Verse 2]
Give me all your paper ma so i can get a train
They just wanna suck you in to being one of them
Tell her that I'm not in here, tell her I'm a freak
Tell her that I fall about every time i speak

[Pre-Chorus]
She has got in for me
Yeah i mean it honestly

[Chorus]
I just scream
Really
[Verse 2]
Give me all your paper ma so i can buy a train
Don't know how i got in here it's making me insane
Have another cigarette and have another cigarette
In a room where lovers go talking on the telephone

[Pre-Chorus]
They have got it in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly

[Chorus]
They all dream
Really

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
