To the man downstairs even though he doesn't care
The man up the spiral staircase, he ?love the sympathy?
With the man downstairs and the same old face

 Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
 God knows you're trying to kill me
 Big muff, get away with your powder puff
 Lord knows you're killing me
 It's like an allergy with no apology
 It's sapped my energy and now my ?integrity?
 Big muff, get away with your powder puff
 Lord knows you're killing me
 The lord knows you're stifling me
 The lord knows you're trying to kill me

Well, the man upstairs has learned it from his wife
But the man downstairs has got trouble in his life
The man upstairs don't notice what has gone
Every time he sees his neighbour singing that same old song

 Big muff, get away with your powder puff
 Lord knows you're trying to kill me
 Big muff, get away with your terrible stuff
 The lord knows you're killing me
 This thing is dangerous, I tell you it's serious
 No need to be envious, it's bigger than the both of us
 Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
 Lord knows you're trying to kill me

Well, the man downstairs has moved away for good
Like the man upstairs, I always knew he would
The man downstairs has moved and gone away
And the girl upstairs every night can hear him say

 Big muff, get away with your powder puff
 Lord knows you're killing me
 Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
 Lord knows you're stifling me
 It's like an allergy with no apology
 It's sapped my energy, ?most catch ...?
 God knows you're stifling me
 The lord knows you're stifling me
 The lord knows you're trying to kill me
