THE GRU SONG

Flanders the Swan

A year ago, last Thursday

I was strolling in the treasury

when I met a man who though he knew the lot.

He was laying down the law about the habits of bankers

And how little spines a politician's got.

So I asked him:

"What's that creature there?"

He answered, "Oh, it's a h'Peston"

I might of gone on thinking that was true 

If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame

And remarked, "I h'aint a Peston, I'm a Gru"

"I'm a Gru

I'm a Gru

The g-nicest work of g-nature on TV too.

I'm a Gru

How do you do

You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's

I'm a Gru

A gneconomics Gru

I'm g-not a Peston or a Mason

So let me introduce 

I'm g-neither man or moose

Oh g-no g-no g-no I'm a Gru"

I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on-Sea

Whence I travelled on to Ashton-under-Lyne it was actually

And the second night I stayed there I was woken from a dream

That I'll tell you all about some other time.

On the flat screen TV on the wall above my bed

Serious and frowning, was a face I thought I knew;

A Paxman? No, it's not a Paxman. 

An Esler? Unlikely, Really. A Osbornebeest?

When I though I heard a voice...

"I'm a Gru

I'm a Gru

A g-neconomics Gru

I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you.

I'm a Gru

How do you do

I really do k-now w-ho's w-ho's.

I'm a Gru

Spelt G-R-U

Call me a Peston or a Mason and I'll sue

G-nor am I the least like that dreadful Osbornebeest.

Oh, g-no, g-no, g-no, 

G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gru

G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gru."
