Panic!! A bloke suddenly realises his new girlfriend is going to see the state of his bachelor pad!!

lyrics

She's coming back to my place
It makes my heart and mind race
'Cause the sink is full of used plates
And I ain't tidied round

There's shoes thrown in a corner
And cobwebs in the hallway
The bed's not even been made
And I ain't tidied round
No I ain't tidied round

I couldn't help but laugh
I wanted just to cry
I've waited all this time
She had to choose tonight
I could've just said “No
I'm busy watering my plants”
But that won't earn a second chance

So she's coming back to my place
But it's a freakin' disgrace
Even bird mess on the front gates
And I ain't tidied round
And there's something in the fridge that
Has grown a furry green hat
The carpet's need a good vac
And I ain't tidied round
No I ain't tidied round

I couldn't help but laugh
I wanted just to cry
I've waited all this time
She had to choose tonight
I could've just said “No
I'm busy watering my plants”
But that won't earn a second chance

I wish we could postpone till tomorrow
Give me one more night to make things gleam
She's caught me on the hop
But I'm sure I've got a mop
Some polish and a cloth and Windolene

So she's coming back to my place
Where the last meals' left a smoke trace
I'm sure I'm gonna lose face
'Cause I ain't tidied round
No I ain't tidied round

I couldn't help but laugh
I wanted just to cry
I've waited all this time
She had to choose tonight
I could've just said “No
I'm busy watering my plants”
But that won't earn a second chance

So we're walking back to my place
We're walking back to my place
We're walking back to my place
For the first and only time
The first and only time
Could be the first and only time
