Gonna Get a Grant by Fred Small Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1981

[Verse 1]
Ooh I can't get out of bed
Let's stay at home instead
I just want to play with you all day
Good loving gives me a thrill
But it don't pay the bills
Somehow true love will find a way

[Chorus]
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant to be in love
We'll philander for philanthropy
Doing what comes naturally
Let's get a grant for love

[Verse 2]
Yum yum, we sure can cook
It's time we wrote the book
The whole world needs our recipe
We'll cuddle without a care
In our own endowed chair
In applied anthropology
[Bridge]
Won't need no advanced degrees
We'll show 'em how we hug and squeeze
Kisses so delectable
They've gotta be tax-deductible

[Chorus]
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant to be in love
We'll philander for philanthropy
Doing what comes naturally
Let's get a grant for love

[Verse 3]
From Berkeley to M.I.T. 
We'll be our favorite charity
Donating our bodies to research
We'll hit the best resorts
Sending quarterly reports
Graphing every lesson we have learned

[Bridge]
Your methods drive me mad
I want to fund you so bad
And when our passion's sated
We can be evaluated
[Chorus]
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant
Gonna get a grant to be in love
We'll philander for philanthropy
Doing what comes naturally
Let's get a grant for love

[Outro]
Gonna make you a proposal
Let's get a grant for love
Don't tell David Stockman
Gonna get a grant for love
