Lyrics
GADGET GREMLIN
Words and Music by Mary Cole Grimley. Arranged by Greg Garrett.
CHORUS I gotta GADGET GREMLIN
Hanging round my house.
A GADGET GREMLIN
QUIET AS A MOUSE!
Creeping under my door!
Crawling over my sill!
A GADGET GREMLIN
Causing
ILL
WILL!
ILL
WILL!
VERSE 1 Only months ago
I wrote a wicked song.
The kind of tune
To hit number one!
A nasty little gremlin
Got into my gear.
Now I can't record a note
And my deadline's here!
ILL
WILL!
ILL
WILL!
CHORUS I gotta GADGET GREMLIN
Hanging round my house.
A GADGET GREMLIN
QUIET AS A MOUSE!
Creeping under my door!
Crawling over my sill!
A GADGET GREMLIN
Causing
ILL
WILL!
ILL
WILL!
Verse 2 Seemed the only thing
Left for me to do
Was to head to the fridge
And get me a brew.
But that nasty little gremlin
That ruined my gear
Denied me a cool drink
For he'd warmed my beer!
ILL
WILL!
ILL
WILL!
CHORUS I gotta GADGET GREMLIN
Hanging round my house.
A GADGET GREMLIN
QUIET AS A MOUSE!
Creeping under my door!
Crawling over my sill!
A GADGET GREMLIN
Causing
ILL
WILL!
ILL
WILL!
Verse 3 I dialled my friend Bill
( He's a hunting man ):
"You shoot gremlins, don't you?
Come as fast as you can!"
We lined up gear and fridge
Outside on the deck.
Bill got the gremlin in his sights
And shot it all to heck!
OUTR Yes, the GADGET GREMLIN'S dead!
The GADGET GREMLIN'S dead and gone!
Oooooo. Dead!
Thanks to Bill!
Thanks, Bill!
Thanks, Bill!
